Nuclear DNA content was measured in developing endosperm cells of two wheat varieties, Chinese Spring and Spica. 3C, 6C, 12C and 24C nuclei were detected, indicating that some form of ...

The endosperm, the tissue surrounding the plant embryo in the seed, has long been perceived as a nourishing tissue that is abandoned once the transition to the seedling is complete. A Swiss team, led ...

Improving grain quality is one of the important objectives in cereal breeding (Sadimantara et al, 1997; Mazur et al, 1999; Tan et al, 1999; Wang et al, 2001). Many grain quality traits, such as ...

Researchers in China have developed a genetic engineering approach capable of delivering many genes at once and used it to make rice endosperm -- seed tissue that provides nutrients to the developing ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 54, No. 381 (January 2003), pp. 279-290 (12 pages) In order to identify marker lines expressing GUS in various endosperm compartments and at different ...

DURING the course of a comparative study of several members of the Leguminosæ, I found an interesting type of endosperm formation in Cassia tora Linn. (family Cæsalpiniaceæ), a common roadside plant ...

A new study demonstrates the effects of rice endosperm protein on the markers correlating to lipid dysfunction in humans and the results are quite encouraging!! Metabolic syndrome is a dangerous ...

The endosperm is a vital tissue in seeds that provides essential nutrients to the growing plant embryo in the seed. During the early stages of seed development, the endosperm frequently grows without ...

Food grade corn, also referred to as hard endosperm corn, is yellow or white dent corn with specific endosperm (starch) characteristics. Hard endosperm corn contains high amounts of hard or (horny) ...

The endosperm, the tissue surrounding the plant embryo in the seed, has long been perceived as a nourishing tissue that is abandoned once the transition to the seedling is complete. A team has now ...
