Medically reviewed by Elizabeth Barnes, RDN Key Takeaways Eating white bread every day can cause quick spikes in blood sugar.

The endosperm, the tissue surrounding the plant embryo in the seed, has long been perceived as a nourishing tissue that is abandoned once the transition to the seedling is complete. A team has now ...

Large amounts of seed storage proteins (SSPs) are produced in the maturing endosperm of rice seeds. Rice SSPs are synthesized as secretory proteins on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and are ...

Improving grain quality is one of the important objectives in cereal breeding (Sadimantara et al, 1997; Mazur et al, 1999; Tan et al, 1999; Wang et al, 2001). Many grain quality traits, such as ...

Rice MADS29 has recently been reported to cause programmed cell death of maternal tissues, the nucellus, and the nucellar projection during early stages of seed development. However, analyses ...

Researchers in China have developed a genetic engineering approach capable of delivering many genes at once and used it to make rice endosperm -- seed tissue that provides nutrients to the developing ...

A new study demonstrates the effects of rice endosperm protein on the markers correlating to lipid dysfunction in humans and the results are quite encouraging!! Metabolic syndrome is a dangerous ...

DURING the course of a comparative study of several members of the Leguminosæ, I found an interesting type of endosperm formation in Cassia tora Linn. (family Cæsalpiniaceæ), a common roadside plant ...

The endosperm is a vital tissue in seeds that provides essential nutrients to the growing plant embryo in the seed. During the early stages of seed development, the endosperm frequently grows without ...
