Wheat proteomics in the healthgrain project

Abstract

The project HEALTHGRAIN concerns "Exploiting Bioactivity of European Cereal Grains for Improved Nutrition and Health Benefits". The proteome analysis within HEALTHGRAIN includes establishing the seed proteome reference map of the wheat cultivar Chinese Spring as well as proteome profiling of cultivars selected on the basis of properties relevant for health, nutrition and agronomical performance. The purpose of the proteome mapping is to provide data for integration with genetic analysis and for correlation of protein profiles with specific grain quality properties. In addition individual identified seed proteins will be characterized with regard to spatio-temporal occurrence and post-translational modifications. An overview of the current status of the project focusing on albumins and globulins and tissue localization will be given in addition to an outline of future plans.0info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
