Kernel texture of wheat is a primary determinant of its technological properties. Soft kernel
texture phenotype results when the Puroindoline a and Puroindoline b genes are present …

Hardness of wheat endosperm is a physical property that depends on the genetic makeup of
the grain and varies amongst different types/varieties. It is associated with proteins …

Wheat hardness has major consequences for the entire wheat supply chain from breeders
and millers over manufacturers to, finally, consumers of wheat‐based products. Indeed …

In plants, lipid trafficking within and inside the cell is carried out by lipid-binding and transfer
proteins. Ligands for these proteins are building and signaling lipid molecules, secondary …

Semi-sweet biscuits were prepared from flour from wheat cultivars with Single Kernel
Characterization System hardness values ranging from 22 to 92. The impact of flour protein …

In planta analysis of protein function in a crop plant could lead to improvements in
understanding protein structure/function relationships as well as selective agronomic or end …

The atomic force microscope tip was used to progressively abrade the surface of non-cut
starch granules embedded in the endosperm protein matrix in grain sections from wheat …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) kernel hardness is a major quality characteristic, which has
been ascribed to the presence of puroindolines a and b. These proteins occur in higher …

Antimicrobial proteins, and especially antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) hold great promise in
the control of animal and plant diseases with low risk of pathogen resistance. The two …

The puroindoline (PIN) proteins in the wheat grain are considered the primary genetic basis
of texture. Their lipid-binding nature that enables an effect on texture is also likely related to …
