Bioengineering approaches to improve the nutritional values of seeds by increasing their methionine content

2012-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Methionine is a nutritionally essential, sulfur-containing amino acid found at low levels in plants and in their seeds. Methionine levels often limit the plant’s value as a source of dietary protein for humans and animals. Despite recent accumulated knowledge of methionine metabolism in vegetative tissues, there is still little knowledge of methionine metabolism in seeds. In this review, we summarize the efforts m...
