Besides the demonstrated value of serological properties of seed storage proteins in systematics, other characters of these proteins are also discussed. As a basis for a comparative study, the homology has been ascertained in several cases for which serological methods, using monospecific antisera, are helpful and easily performed.

Storage Proteins from Lathyrus sativus Seeds
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2000The proteins from Lathyrus sativus Linn. (chickling vetch or grass pea) seeds were investigated. Protein constitutes approximately 20% of the seed dry weight, >60% of which is composed by globulins and 30% by albumins. A single, 24 kDa polypeptide comprises more than half of the protein present in the albumin fraction. The globulins may be fractionated

Trafficking to the seed protein storage vacuole
Functional Plant Biology, 2018The processing and subcellular trafficking of seed storage proteins is a critical area of physiological, agricultural and biotechnological research. Trafficking to the lytic vacuole has been extensively discussed in recent years, without substantial distinction from trafficking to the protein storage vacuole (PSV). However, despite some overlap between

Coffee seeds contain 11S storage proteins
Physiologia Plantarum, 1999A legumin‐like seed protein was purified from the endosperm of coffee (Coffea arabica L. cv. Colombia). In contrast to legumes, where efficient storage globulin extraction requires buffered saline solutions well above the acidic pKI of the globulins, coffee legumin is readily extracted with acidic aqueous buffers. The coffee legumin migrates like other

The Seed Storage Proteins of Quinoa
1997Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a member of the Chenopodiaceae, or goosefoot, family of dicotyledenous plants (Figure 1). Indigenous to the Andean region of South America, cultivated quinoa is grown primarily in the cool, semi-arid altiplano of Bolivia and Peru but is also adaptable to valleys and coastal foothills. Quinoa has been a staple food item in

Protein Bodies: Storage Vacuoles in Seeds
1997Publisher Summary This chapter discusses protein storage vacuoles (PSV) in seeds. Seeds of many plant species store reserve proteins in protein storage vacuoles. The questions of the ontogeny of seed PSVs parallel the questions on the origin of the central vacuole in meristematic cells. The primary purpose of PSV formation is to sequester nitrogen in

Electrophoretic analysis of seed storage proteins from gymnosperms
ELECTROPHORESIS, 1994AbstractSodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE), pore gradient gel electrophoresis (PGGE) followed by SDS‐PAGE and Western blot analysis were used to characterize the seed storage proteins from seven gymnosperm species from the families Pinaceae (Abies alba, Cedrus atlantica and Picea abies), Cupressaceae (Biota orientalis,

This chapter considers storage proteins for which storage is the main, and in most cases only, function. It defines storage proteins as those that are present in insoluble deposits, which exhibit tissue specificity and whose synthesis is regulated by availability of mineral nutrients, although the latter character has not been studied for all ...

Pathways for protein transport to seed storage vacuoles
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2005Plant vacuoles have multiple functions: they can act both as digestive organelles and as receptacles for storage proteins. Different types of vacuoles can coexist in the same cell, which adds complexity to the process of targeting to these compartments.

Modification of plant seed storage proteins
1990Abstract The seeds of most higher plants contain large quantities of reserve or storage proteins. Other chapters in this volume have described their biological role, the structures of both the proteins and their genes, and their regulation and biosynthesis.
