conglutin/arachis hypogaea

ABSTRACT Infection of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) seed by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus is a serious problem that can result in aflatoxin contamination in the seed. Breeding resistant cultivars would be an effective approach to reduce aflatoxin accumulation. The objective of this study was to

Comparative genomic and cDNA sequence analysis of ara h 2, a major peanut allergen, and a related conglutin ara h 6 were performed in Arachis hypogaea L. and its putative progenitors, Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaensis. The complete identity between sequences encoding Ara h 2 isoforms

The allergenicity of seed storage proteins, the major components of edible legume seeds, may cause serious reactions in both children and adult population. Updated methodologies for evaluation of the activity of these proteins are needed. In this paper we used two-dimensional (2D) electrophoretic

Food allergies are an emerging public health problem in industrialized areas of the world. They represent a considerable health problem in these areas because of the relatively high number of reported cases. Usually, food allergens are proteins or glycoproteins with a molecular mass ranging from 10

In this study, a single, improved methodology was used to extract, fractionate and purify the 11S (legumin-type or related to the alpha-conglutin from Lupinus albus L.), 7S (vicilin-type or related to the beta-conglutin from L. albus) and 2S (related to the gamma-conglutin from L. albus) families of

In order to clone the genes of peanut seed storage proteins, a cDNA library of mid-maturation stage cotyledons of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. Shanyou 523) was constructed. After immunoscreening with polyclonal antibody against conarachin from peanut seeds, two cDNA sequences named Ahy alpha and Ahy

BACKGROUND In legumes, seed storage proteins are important for the developing seedling and are an important source of protein for humans and animals. Lupinus angustifolius (L.), also known as narrow-leaf lupin (NLL) is a grain legume crop that is gaining recognition as a potential human health food
