Understanding the genetic organization and the regulatory mechanisms involved in maize endosperm development and in carbohydrate and storage protein accumulation may yield novel approaches for increasing the nutritional value of grain and for producing materials for non-food manufacturing industries. In this article we have covered the recent research relating to regulatory mechanisms of endosperm development and of carbohydrate and storage protein synthesis in seeds. In particular, we focus our attention on the developmental, genetic, and environmental factors which may influence endosperm development and the composition of carbohydrate and storage protein fractions in the seeds.

Abstract
Understanding the genetic organization and the regulatory mechanisms involved in maize endosperm development and in carbohydrate and storage protein accumulation may yield novel approaches for increasing the nutritional value of grain and for producing materials for non-food manufacturing industries. In this article we have covered the recent research relating to regulatory mechanisms of endosperm development and of carbohydrate and storage protein synthesis in seeds. In particular, we focus our attention on the developmental, genetic, and environmental factors which may influence endosperm development and the composition of carbohydrate and storage protein fractions in the seeds.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
