Lysine-Rich Proteins in High-Lysine Hordeum Vulgare Grain

Abstract

The salt-soluble proteins in barley grain selected for high-lysine content (Hiproly, CI 7115 and the mutants 29 and 86) and of a control (Carlsberg II) with normal lysine content, contain identical major proteins as determined by MW and electrophoretic mobility. The concentration of a protein group with a high lysine content varies significantly among the barleys examined. One protein, present in large amounts in Hiproly, is assumed to be partially responsible for the high-lysine character of Hiproly, CI 7115 and the mutants 29 and 86
