"Plant Food Allergens" is concerned with a paradox of immense, potentially life-threatening significance to about 1 in 100 adults and 1 in 10 children. The paradox is that certain nutritious proteins from wholesome foods can act as if the were harmful, sometimes deadly poisons, to these people who possess an allergy to them. In order to study the ...
This book introduces the concepts and potential of protein engineering in relation to plant systems and gives an account of current research in this topical field. As a new and exciting field of research, plant engineering has, until recently, only been applied to model systems of microbial and animal origins. Developments in this area, formerly ...
This major book reviews our current knowledge of the genetics and molecular biology of barley and how biotechnology can be used to improve crop yields and their quality for feed or in the brewing industry. The book is divided into six main sections covering: phylogeny and wild relatives; basic genetics; molecular analysis of metabolism and ...
Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation play key regulatory roles in many aspects of plant growth, development, and metabolism. These include control of cell division, pathways of carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and the transduction of metabolic, hormonal, and environmental signals. This is a rapidly expanding area of research and this book ...
The understanding of the physical and genetic structure of plant genomes and the determination of phenotypes via interactions of coding and non-coding regions with the environment has quickly become the key to the future of plant breeding and agriculture. In "Transgenic Wheat, Barley and Oats: Production and Characterization Protocols", expert ...
Seeds are the major plant organ harvested by man, who exploits their rich storage reserves for food, for feed for his livestock, and for industrial raw materials. These storage reserves comprise three major types of compound - proteins, lipids (triacyglycerols) and starch. The amounts, proportions and compositions of these three groups vary with ...
This latest volume surveys opportunities and applications of biotechnology in improvement of cereal production, protection, and end use quantity. It will appeal to a broad readership, from academics to industry. It includes explanations of the technologies involved and discusses their applications. It is the only current volume which covers the ...
This volume is the most comprehensive and detailed account of seed proteins so far published and the first dedicated volume for a number of years. It covers the major storage protein groups (prolamins, 2S albumins, 7Sglobulins, and 11S globulins), focusing on those present in crops. It also covers other widely distributed groups of proteins ...
