Effect of suppressing the synthesis of different kafirin subclasses on grain endosperm texture, protein body structure and protein nutritional quality in improved sorghum lines

Da Silva, Laura S.; Jung, Rudolf; Zhao, Zuo-yo; Glassman, Kimberly; Taylor, Janet; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall) (Elsevier, 2011-07)

To improve sorghum grain protein nutritional quality, improved sorghum lines were transformed to suppress the synthesis of different kafirin sub-classes, or backcrossed into transgenic lines with improved protein quality. ...
Transgenic sorghum with altered kafirin synthesis : kafirin solubility, polymerization, and protein digestion

Da Silva, Laura S.; Taylor, Janet; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall) (American Chemical Society, 2011-09)

Transgenic sorghum (TG) lines with altered kafirin synthesis, particularly suppression of γ-kafirin synthesis, and improved protein quality have been developed. The proportion of kafirin extracted with 60% tert-butyl ...
