ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to compositions and methods 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 milling.
