* The genomic era facilitates the understanding of how transcriptional networks are interconnected to program seed development and filling. However, to date, little information is available regarding dicot seeds with a transient perisperm and a persistent, copious endosperm. Coffea arabica is the subject of increasing genomic research and is a model for nonorthodox albuminous dicot seeds of tro...

The Hopi gene is a member of the maize r1 gene family. By genetic and molecular analyses we report that Hopi consists of a single gene residing on chromosome 10 approximately 4.5 cM distal to r1. Hopi conditions anthocyanin deposition in aleurone, scutellum, pericarp, root, mesocotyl, leaves, and anthers, thus representing one of the broadest specifications of pigmentation pattern reported to d...

Date palm, the most important tree in Saudi Arabia and Middle East, produces a huge amount of waste yearly form fibrous materials, dried fruits, seeds. Such is great source excellent degradable biomass that can be used numerous applications as natural fiber composites, active carbon precursors, even nano-featured sheets. That rich resource burned on date palm farms due to lack effective process...

• Seed dormancy can affect life history through its effects on germination time. Here, we investigate its influence on life history beyond the timing of germination. • We used the response of Arabidopsis thaliana to chilling at the germination and flowering stages to test the following: how seed dormancy affects germination responses to the environment; whether variation in dormancy affects adu...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been widely demonstrated to play fundamental roles in gene regulation in most eukaryotes. To date, there has been no study describing the miRNA composition in genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In this study, small RNAs from dry seeds of two GM soybean lines and their parental cultivars were investigated using deep sequencing technology and bioinformatic approaches. ...

Expression analyses of genes encoding sulfur-rich 10 kDa rice prolamins have not been reported to date although the entire genome of the model monocot plant has been sequenced in recent years. We isolated a 10 kDa rice prolamin gene, RP10, by genomic PCR, and the gene was registered in GenBank under the accession number AF294580. Genomic Southern-blot and bioinformatic study revealed that genes...

The food industry, academia, technologists, and consumers have become more interested in using faba bean seeds the formulation of new products because their nutritional content, accessibility, low costs, environmental advantages, beneficial impacts on health. In this review, a systematic up-to-date report seeds’ antinutrients bioactive processing techniques is comprehensively presented. chemica...
