Overview

This volume is a comprehensive and detailed account of seed proteins. It covers the major storage protein groups (prolamins, 2S albumins, 7s globulins, and 11s globulins), focusing on those present in crops. It also covers other widely distributed groups of proteins including lectins, inhibitors, antifungal proteins, thionins and oil body protein (oleosins). The breadth of coverage of the proteins is wide, including their structures and properties, evolutionary relationships, classical and molecular genetics and mechanisms of synthesis, trafficking and deposition within the cells. It should therefore become a standard source book for active research scientists as well as for higher level teaching.

...Seed Proteins can be recommended to a wide range of readers, not only to plant biochemists and molecular biologists, but also to plant breeders, seed testers, agronomists, phytochemists and physiologists. It should be a standard volume in the library of all those dealing with seed in the widest sense.' Journal of Plant Physiology, 152: 4 (2000)
