What Is Gluten—Why Is It Special?

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2019
Wheat gluten has an immense impact on human nutrition as it largely determines the processing properties of wheat flour, and in particular the ability to make leavened breads, other baked products, pasta and noodles.

Low-gluten, nontransgenic wheat engineered with CRISPR/Cas9 [PDF]

, 2018
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered in genetically predisposed individuals by the ingestion of gluten proteins from wheat, barley and rye. The a-gliadin gene family of wheat contains four highly stimulatory peptides, of which the 33-mer

Optimizing rapeseed protein purification: a continuous chromatographic approach for napin and cruciferin

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Napin and cruciferin, the predominant storage proteins in Brassica napus (rapeseed), exhibit favorable techno‐functional properties such as emulsification and gel formation, positioning them as promising candidates for the encapsulation and delivery of bioactive compounds. Their classification as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe),

Contrasting CO2‐response strategies in Pardina lentils: Yield maximization in a commercial cultivar and seed composition adjustment in a landrace

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Assessing crop's responses to elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) is crucial for global food security. This study examines the impact of eCO2 (700 μmol mol−1) on the cultivars of lentil (Lens culinaris), local Pardina Verde Rayada lentil (PVRL), and commercial Pardina lentil (PL) in terms of the productivity and nutritional composition ...

Alternative Protein Sources in Poultry and Pig Nutrition—A Review

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are an essential nutrient for the viability of all animals, enabling organisms to grow, regenerate and defend themselves against pathogenic organisms. Soybean and soybean‐based materials are commonly used to supplement protein in animal nutrition.

Deep sequencing reveals the complex and coordinated transcriptional regulation of genes related to grain quality in rice cultivars [PDF]

, 2011
Background Milling yield and eating quality are two important grain quality traits in rice. To identify the genes involved in these two traits, we performed a deep transcriptional analysis of developing seeds using both massively parallel ...

A Bioluminescent Reporter System for Real‐Time Monitoring of the Unfolded Protein Response in Plants

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a critical mechanism for maintaining endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis under stress. Here, we developed a bioluminescent reporter system, AtbZIP60‐LUC, in Arabidopsis to dynamically monitor ER stress by coupling IRE1‐mediated splicing of bZIP60 mRNA to firefly luciferase (LUC) expression.
