In the present study, phytochemical contents of 25 moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) seed accessions were evaluated. This includes protease inhibitors, phytic acid, radical scavenging activity, and tannins. The studies revealed significant variation in the contents of theses phytochemicals. Presence of photochemical composition was correlated with seed storage proteins like albumin and globulin. Q...

Until recently, storage protein research has been largely restricted to the seed-specific reserve proteins, which provide nutrients to seedlings during their early growth. Their abundance, and the potential for improving seed nutritional quality, were early incentives to investigate seed storage proteins, and they continue to be intensively studied as a plant model for tissue-specific and devel...

Abstract During drying and storage, trema seeds undergo a process of seed deterioration. Seed deterioration is decrease in the quality viability which can cause overall changes seed, both physiologically chemically. The aim this research was to analyze impact time storage technique on physiological chemical, get best (optimum) for seeds. experimental design used completely randomized with 2 fac...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the seed storage protein of seven different species of papaver in ardabil province, iran by sds-page method. by scoring banding patterns data, a total of 20 loci were identified in the species. maximum number of protein band (17 bands) was belonged to p. bracteatum and p. rhoease. minimum number of protein band (13 bands) was related to the species of p...

A comparative study of proteome and transcriptome changes during Medicago truncatula (cultivar Jemalong) seed development has been carried out. Transcript and protein profiles were parallel across the time course for 50% of the comparisons made, but divergent patterns were also observed, indicative of post-transcriptional events. These data, combined with the analysis of transcript and protein ...

Seed storage proteins of grain crops meet the major dietary protein requirement of over half of the world population. However, seed proteins in general are deficient in some essential amino acids and hence are of poor nutritional quality. Therefore, intensive research is going on to isolate and characterize these proteins and their genes, and to produce transgenic crop plants with modified seed...

The non-enzymatic modifications of proteins through Amadori and Maillard reactions play an important role in the loss of seed viability during storage. In the present study, the contribution of sugar hydrolysis and lipid peroxidation to Amadori and Maillard reactions, and to seed deterioration was investigated in mung-bean (Vigna radiata Wilczek). The contents of glucose and lipid peroxidation ...
