Recombinant protein production in microbial hosts and animal cell cultures has
revolutionized the pharmaceutical and industrial enzyme industries. Plants as alternative …

Wheat hardness has major consequences for the entire wheat supply chain from breeders
and millers over manufacturers to, finally, consumers of wheat‐based products. Indeed …

Kernel hardness is one of the most important single traits of wheat seed. It classifies wheat
cultivars, determines milling quality and affects many end-use qualities. Starch granule …

Puroindoline (Pina and Pinb) genes control grain texture or hardness in wheat. Wild-
type/soft alleles lead to softer grain while a mutation in one or both of these genes results in …

At present, pharmacologically significant proteins are synthesized in different expression
systems, from bacterial to mammalian and insect cell cultures. The plant expression systems …

Fluorescent proteins (FP) have significantly impacted the way that we study plants in the
past two decades. In the post-genomics era, these FP tools are in higher demand by plant …

In planta analysis of protein function in a crop plant could lead to improvements in
understanding protein structure/function relationships as well as selective agronomic or end …

The atomic force microscope tip was used to progressively abrade the surface of non-cut
starch granules embedded in the endosperm protein matrix in grain sections from wheat …
