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 ...

Rice MADS29 has recently been reported to cause programmed cell death of maternal tissues, the nucellus, and the nucellar projection during early stages of seed development. However, analyses ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
