N and S regulation of wheat storage protein accumulation

ABSTRACT: Seed storage proteins (SSP) play a central role in providing carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S) resources during seed germination. Their content and composition are essential determinants shaping wheat end-use value. Molecular mechanisms underlying the developmental and nutritional regulation of SSP accumulation in wheat grain are as yet poorly understood. We were interested to elucidate the effects of N and S supplies on the gene expression of the entire system of wheat grain. For this purpose, we performed microarray analysis using a custom T.aestivum NimbleGen 40k microarray (ref. A-MEXP-1928) in wheat grains of 8 developmental stages and four N and S treatments.
