Abstract excerpt
Grain protein composition determines quality traits, such as value for food, feedstock, and biomaterials uses. The major storage proteins in sorghum are the prolamins, known as kafirins. Located primarily on the periphery of the protein bodies surrounding starch, cysteine-rich β- and γ-kafirins may limit enzymatic access to internally positioned α-kafirins and starch. An integrated approach was used to...
