The grain of the self-pollinating diploid barley species offers two modes of producing recombinant enzymes or other proteins. One uses the promoters of genes with aleurone-specific expression during germination and the signal peptide code for export of the protein into the endosperm. The other uses promoters of the structural genes for storage proteins deposited in the developing endosperm. Pro...

Introduction The grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) cultivated in Chile has a large, mostly clear white, grain. It is valued by European communities as the basis for the preparation of traditional dishes. Small Chilean farmers are exporting grass pea to these markets, which pay higher prices for larger seed. However, the size of the grain currently being produced is quite heterogeneous, and the ex...

The goal is quantitative and qualitative assessment of the export potential, as well designation main prospects for development grain economy in Kazakhstan. Methods – bibliometric, economic-statistical, comparative, system analysis, logical. Results it shown that global recession, rising gas fuel prices have a negative impact on increase agricultural sector republic; bibliographic review primar...

The study reviews the current sorghum and maize production, processing and utilization in Botswana. Most of the grains produced in Botswana are used for home consumption, while processing of commercial and export commodities are limited both in terms of quantity and extent of processing. The major processing activity by both small scale and large scale firms is grain milling into maize and sorg...

Although the remobilization of vegetative nitrogen (N) and post-silking N both contribute to grain N in maize (Zea mays L.), their regulation by grain sink strength is poorly understood. Here we use 15N labeling to analyze the dynamic behaviors of both pre- and post-silking N in relation to source and sink manipulation in maize plants. The results showed that the remobilization of pre-silking N...
