Question

Comparative proteome analysis of embryo and endosperm reveals central differential expression

Answer 1

Wheat seeds provide a staple food and an important protein source for the world's  

population. Seed germination is vital to wheat growth and development and directly affects  

grain yield and quality. In this study, we performed the first comparative proteomic analysis  

of wheat embryo and endosperm during seed germination. The proteomic changes in  

embryo and endosperm during the four different seed germination stages of elite Chinese  

bread wheat cultivar Zhengmai 9023 were first investigated. In total, 74 and 34 differentially
