Improving the protein content and composition of cereal grain

2007-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Cereals are important sources of protein for human nutrition but have low quality due to limitations in the amounts of essential amino acids, notably lysine. These deficiencies result from the low levels of these amino acids in the prolamin storage proteins and hence are exacerbated when high levels of nitrogen fertiliser are used to increase yield and total protein content. Genetic and genetic engineering strateg...
