RICE BRITTLE CULM19 ENCODING CELLULOSE SYNTHASE SUBUNIT CESA4 CAUSES DOMINANT BRITTLE PHENOTYPE BUT HAS NO DISTINCT INFLUENCE ON GROWTH AND GRAIN YIELD

Rice Brittle Culm19 Encoding Cellulose Synthase Subunit CESA4 Causes Dominant Brittle Phenotype But has No Distinct Influence on Growth and Grain Yield

Abstract Background Mechanical strength is a crucial agronomic trait in rice (Oryza sativa), and brittle mutants are thought suitable materials to investigate the mechanism of cell wall formation.So far, almost all brittle mutants are recessive, and most of them are defected in multiple morphologies and/or grain yield, limiting their application in

Protein characterization of pasteurized milk, cheese whey and their mixtures by using the CEM SprintTM analyzer

In this work, the protein analyzer SprintTM was assessed regarding its capacity of predicting addition of whey in milk.This here type of practice is relatively common in dairy plants, since whey, as it is a protein component, may be added with little loss of milk protein content.Besides,its incorrect elimination contributes to environmental polluti
