Improved extraction of prolamins for gluten detection in processed foods
A problem in gluten analysis has been inconsistent extractability of prolamins, particularly from processed foods consisting of unknown portions of prolamins from wheat, barley, and rye.

Nucleotide sequence and endosperm-specific expression of the structural gene for the thionin alpha-hordothionin in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) [PDF]
A barley genomic library, obtained by cloning in the vector λEMBL-4, was screened with a cDNA probe encoding the α-hordothionin toxin. A positive clone, designated λTH1, was selected for further characterization.

The albumin and globulin seed storage proteins present in all plants accumulate in storage vacuoles. Prolamins, which are the major proteins in cereals seeds and are present only there, instead accumulate within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen as ...

Genetic and biochemical differences in populations bred for extremes in maize grain methionine concentration [PDF]
Background: Methionine is an important nutrient in animal feed and several approaches have been developed to increase methionine concentration in maize (Zea mays L.) grain. One approach is through traditional breeding using recurrent selection.

Comparison of Short-grain Rice Cultivars Grown in Japan and the United States [PDF]
Although short-grain rice accounts for less than 2% of U.S. rice production, the demand for short-grain rice is expected to increase because of the increasing popularity of sushi and sake. The objective of this study was to compare the physical, chemical

Where do protein bodies of cereal seeds come from?
Protein bodies of cereal seeds consist of ordered, largely insoluble heteropolymers formed by prolamin storage proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum of developing endosperm cells.
