In plants, sucrose is the major transport form for photoassimilated carbon and is both a
source of carbon skeletons and energy for plant organs unable to perform photosynthesis …

This review summarizes the recent discovery of the cupin superfamily (from the Latin term
“cupa,” a small barrel) of functionally diverse proteins that initially were limited to several …

A high-throughput proteomic approach was employed to determine the expression profile
and identity of hundreds of proteins during seed filling in soybean (Glycine max) cv …

Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA transformants were screened for mutations affecting seed fatty
acid composition. A mutant line was found with reduced levels of linolenic acid (18: 3) due to …

This review will describe the recent identification of a wheat protein, gennin, whose function
as an oxalate oxidase was first revealed in the early part of this century but which has …

Background: The allergens responsible for cashew food allergy have not been well
characterized. Objectives: We initiated a study to clone cDNAs encoding cashew food …

Interest in nutrient loading of seeds is fuelled by its central importance to plant reproductive
success and human nutrition. Rates of nutrient loading, imported through the phloem, are …

Flooding injury is a major problem in soybean cultivation. A proteomics approach was used
to clarify the occurrence of changes in protein expression level and phosphorylation in …

Due to their importance as crop species, solanaceous plants such as tobacco, potato and
tomato have been studied in great detail with respect to carbohydrate partitioning using …

The anatomy of developing pea seeds is characterized by transfer cells present in both
coats and cotyledons at the maternal/filial interface. To determine the nature and cellular …
