During seed germination several seed biopolymers, including the storage proteins, must be
hydrolysed to provide biochemical building blocks for the growing seedling. This process is …

Background Celiac disease (CD) is a potentially life-threatening condition affecting 1% of
the Western Europe population. It is caused by a T-cell-mediated inflammatory autoimmune …

The quality of barley for the range of end uses from animal feed to brewing is determined by
many genes, making the breeding of new barley varieties difficult. Understanding of the …

Barley is used for a wide range of traditional and novel end-uses (Edney 1996; Sparrow et
al., 1988). In most countries, the major portion of barley is fed to animals, particularly cattle …

The prevalence of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity has increased in recent years,
leading to a growing demand for gluten-free products, like beer. However, traditional beers …

Malting is a process of controlled germination and early seedling growth. With appropriate
control of grain moisture, environmental conditions, germination time, and kilning conditions …

We used an 8987-EST collection to construct a cDNA microarray system with various
genomics information (full-length cDNA, expression profile, high accuracy genome …

Proteolysis is crucial for all living cells. It regulates protein processing, intracellular protein
levels and removes abnormal or damaged proteins from the cell, working as a cellular …

The process of germination in six different wheat cultivars was monitored using NIR
spectroscopy and the Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) method. Near‐infrared spectra provided …

BACKGROUND: Proteases hydrolyse storage proteins to provide precursors for
perpetuating species. The aim of this study was to investigate and characterise different …
