Analysis of the Barley Malt Rootlet Proteome.

ABSTRACT: Barley seeds are one of the main ingredients of the malting industry for brewing beer. The barley rootlets that are separated from the kilned seeds at the end of the malting process and used as animal feed are one of the byproducts of this industry. In this study, the proteome of rootlets derived from two stages of the malting process, germination and kilning, from a popular malting barley variety were analyzed. A label-free shotgun proteomics strategy was used to identify more than 800 proteins from the barley rootlets. A high coverage and high confidence Gene Ontology annotations of the barley genome was used to facilitate the functional annotation of the proteins that were identified in the rootlets. An analysis of these proteins using Kellogg Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) an
