  • Title: The development of transgenic crops to improve human health by advanced utilization of seed storage proteins.
    Author: Maruyama N, Mikami B, Utsumi S.
    Journal: Biosci Biotechnol Biochem; 2011; 75(5):823-8. PubMed ID: 21597192.
    Abstract:
    Seed storage proteins are a major component of mature seeds. They are utilized as protein sources in foods. We designed seed storage proteins containing bioactive peptides based on their three-dimensional structures. Furthermore, to create crops with enhanced food qualities, we developed transgenic crops producing seed storage proteins with bioactive peptides. This strategy promises to prevent lifestyle-related diseases by simple daily food consumption. In this review, we discuss a strategy to develop transgenic crops to improve human health by advanced utilization of seed storage proteins.
