Maize kernel nutritional quality—an old challenge for ... - Springer
2 天之前 · Maize (Zea mays L.) is a vital cereal crop worldwide, and its kernels function as harvested storage organs essential for both yield and nutritional quality.These kernels can be processed into a variety of products, including animal feed, beverages, starch, biofuels, and adhesives (Ranum et al. 2014).Composed primarily of starchy endosperm, maize kernels also …
Efficacy and application potential of purified hydrocolloid coatings ...
6 天之前 · Compared with the uncoated maize seeds, the purified hydrocolloid-coated maize seeds remained viable mainly at 1745 cm –1 after 5 days before the aging treatment, suggesting that the purified hydrocolloid film protected the seeds from potential deterioration during aging (Hao et al., 2023). The infrared curves revealed that the soluble ...

Key Developments in New Plant Breeding Technologies in 2024
5 天之前 · It was developed using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to contain high levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an amino acid that helps lower blood pressure. The gene-edited tomato has four to five times more GABA than conventional tomato varieties. Field trials of gene-edited crops. Genome-edited maize.
Microautophagy in cereal grains: protein storage or degradation?
6 天之前 · Recent research indicates an involvement of microautophagy in the uptake of seed storage proteins (SSPs) into the plant-specific protein storage vacuole (PSV), particularly in cereal grains. However, because microautophagy plays a vital role in cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling cellular components, we question whether it is a suitable term for a process …
