Received: 2015.12.02; Accepted: 2016.02.15; Published: 2016.04.08 Abstract The dwarfing mechanism of Rht-dp in dwarf Polish wheat (DPW) is unknown. Each internode of DPW was significantly shorter than it in high Polish wheat (HPW), and the dwarfism was insensitive to photoperiod, abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellin (GA), cytokinin (CK), auxin and brassinolide (BR). To understand the mechanism, three sets of transcripts, DPW, HPW, and a chimeric set (a combination of DPW and HPW), were constructed using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Based on the chimeric transcripts, 2,446 proteins were identified using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ). A total of 108 unigenes and 12 proteins were considered as dwarfism-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), respectively.

  • Seed Storage Proteins
    SEED STORAGE PROTEINS PRESENTED BY: DIVYA KAUSHIK M.Sc BIOTECHNOLOGY 2nd SEMESTER INTRODUCTION The plant seed is not only an organ of propagation and dispersal but also the major plant tissue harvested by humankind. The amount of protein present in seeds varies from 10% (in cereals) to 40% (in certain legumes and oilseeds) of the dry weight, forming a major source of dietary protein. Although the vast majority of the individual proteins present in mature seeds have either metabolic or structural roles, all seeds also contain one or more groups of proteins that are present in high amounts and that serve to provide a store of amino acids for use during germination and seedling growth. These storage proteins are of particular importance because they determine not only the total protein content of the seed but also its quality for various end uses. CHARACTERISTICS OF SEED STORAGE PROTEINS Seed storage proteins (SSPs) are specifically synthesized during seed maturation and accumulate in the endosperm of monocots or in the cotyledons and embryos of dicots. Their presence in mature seeds in discrete deposit are called protein bodies. One of the earliest and first isolated proteins is wheat gluten and Brazil nut globulin. They are synthesized at high levels in specific tissues and at certain stages of development. their synthesis is regulated by nutrition, and they act as a sink for surplus nitrogen. CLASSIFICATION Classification of proteins in to their groups is based on their solubility. Three protein groups have been categorized during

Latunde-Dada 2,* 1 Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, Henriette Raphael House Guy’s Campus King’s College London, London SE1 1UL, UK 2 Department of Nutritional Sciences, School of Life Course Sciences, King’s College London, Franklin-Wilkins-Building, 150 Stamford Street, London SE1 9NH, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 June 2019; Accepted: 2 August 2019; Published: 5 August 2019 Abstract: Iron is a vital trace element for humans, as it plays a crucial role in oxygen transport, oxidative metabolism, cellular proliferation, and many catalytic reactions. To be beneficial, the amount of iron in the human body needs to be maintained within the ideal range. Iron metabolism is one of the most complex processes involving many organs and tissues, the interaction of which is critical for iron homeostasis. No active mechanism for iron excretion exists. Therefore, the amount of iron absorbed by the intestine is tightly controlled to balance the daily losses. The bone marrow is the prime iron consumer in the body, being the site for erythropoiesis, while the reticuloendothelial system is responsible for iron recycling through erythrocyte phagocytosis. The liver has important synthetic, storing, and regulatory functions in iron homeostasis. Among the numerous proteins involved in iron metabolism, hepcidin is a liver-derived peptide hormone, which is the master regulator of iron metabolism. This hormone acts in many target tissues and regulates systemic iron levels through a negative feedback mechanism. Hepcidin synthesis is controlled by several factors such as iron levels, anaemia, infection, inflammation, and erythropoietic activity.

  • Methods for the Modification and Evaluation of Cereal Proteins for the Substitution of Wheat Gluten in Dough Systems

Serna-Saldívar and Cristina Chuck-Hernández * Tecnologico de Monterrey, School of Engineering and Sciences, Ave. Eugenio Garza Sada 2501, Monterrey 64849, Mexico; [email protected] (J.E.-H.); [email protected] (L.M.M.); [email protected] (S.O.S.-S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +52-81-83581400 (ext. 4895) Abstract: The substitution of wheat gluten in the food industry is a relevant research area because the only known treatment for celiac disease is abstinence from this protein complex. The use of gluten-free cereals in dough systems has demonstrated that the viscoelastic properties of gluten cannot be achieved without the modification of the protein fraction. The quality of the final product is determined by the ability of the modification to form a matrix similar to that of gluten and to reach this, different methods have been proposed and tested. These procedures can be classified into four main types: chemical, enzymatic, physical, and genetic. This article provides a comprehensive review of the most recent research done in protein modification of cereal and pseudocereals for gluten substitution. The reported effects and methodologies for studying the changes made with each type of modification are described; also, some opportunity areas for future works regarding the study of the effect of protein modifications on gluten-free products are presented.

  • Evolutionary History of Triticum Petropavlovskyi Udacz. Et Migusch
    Evolutionary History of Triticum petropavlovskyi Udacz. et Migusch. Inferred from the Sequences of the 3-Phosphoglycerate Kinase Gene Qian Chen1,2., Hou-Yang Kang1., Xing Fan1, Yi Wang1, Li-Na Sha1, Hai-Qin Zhang1, Mei-Yu Zhong1, Li-Li Xu1, Jian Zeng3, Rui-Wu Yang4, Li Zhang4, Chun-Bang Ding4, Yong-Hong Zhou1,2* 1 Triticeae Research Institute, Sichuan Agricultural University, Sichuan, People’s Republic of China, 2 Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Resources and Improvement, Ministry of Education, Sichuan Agricultural University, Sichuan, People’s Republic of China, 3 College of Resources and Environment, Sichuan Agricultural University, Sichuan, People’s Republic of China, 4 College of Biology and Science, Sichuan Agricultural University, Sichuan, People’s Republic of China Abstract Single- and low-copy genes are less likely to be subject to concerted evolution. Thus, they are appropriate tools to study the origin and evolution of polyploidy plant taxa. The plastid 3-phosphoglycerate kinase gene (Pgk-1) sequences from 44 accessions of Triticum and Aegilops, representing diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid wheats, were used to estimate the origin of Triticum petropavlovskyi. Our phylogenetic analysis was carried out on exon+intron, exon and intron sequences, using maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference and haplotype networking. We found the D genome sequences of Pgk-1 genes from T. petropavlovskyi are similar to the D genome orthologs in T. aestivum, while their relationship with Ae. tauschii is more distant. The A genome sequences of T. petropavlovskyi group with those of T. polonicum, but its Pgk-1 B genome sequences to some extent diverge from those of other species of Triticum.

Wheat gluten proteins have unique functional properties but a poor nutritional value in comparison to animal proteins. This study investigated the potential of egg white and bovine milk casein with well-balanced amino acid composition to increase the quality of wheat gluten-based protein-rich foods. RESULTS: Heating a wheat gluten (51.4 g) - water (100.0 ml) blend for 120 minutes at 100 °C increased its firmness less than heating a wheat gluten (33.0 g) - freeze dried egg white (16.8 g) - water (100.0 ml) blend. In contrast, the addition of casein to the gluten-water blend negatively impacted firmness after heating.
