ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a composition for altering the levels of seed proteins in cereal grain. The invention is directed to the alteration of seed protein levels in plant grain, resulting in grain with increased digestibility
utrient availability, improved amino acid composition
utritional value, increased response to feed processing, improved silage quality, and increased efficiency of wet or dry-milling. The composition provided comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a maize 18 kD alpha-globulin cDNA as well as expression cassettes comprising nucleotide sequences of the invention. Also provided are transformed plant tissue including plants, cells and seeds thereof.
