Abstract excerpt
Limiting the ingestion of protein is the fundamental idea in the diet therapy for patients with chronic renal failure. Two mutations involved in the content of major rice storage proteins useful for developing low easy-to-digest protein rice variety have been isolated. The glb1 mutation causes the deficiency of alpha-globulin, and the Lgc1 mutation reduces the glutelin content. By combining the glb1 and the Lgc1...
