Globulin Storage Proteins in Crucifers and Non-Legume Dicotyledonous Families

  • Chapter
Seed Proteins

Abstract

Globulin storage proteins are represented in most plant species and consist of two types of salt-soluble proteins which form well-conserved families with characteristic structural features, the 11-12S and the 7S types. These two types of proteins have been investigated mostly in cultivated crops, due to their potential nutritional value (Utsumi, 1992). However because they are represented in all plant families, from gymnosperms to angiosperms, and because they are usually coded by multigene families, they are also promising for evolutionary studies (Shewry et al., 1995). These two types have been best described in legumes : the 11-12S correspond to the legumin/glycinin proteins whereas the 7S correspond to vicilin, conglycinin and phaseolin proteins. These proteins are reviewed in other chapters in this book.
