Improved grain quality through altered expression of seed proteins

Abstract

The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for altering the levels of seed protein in cereal grain. The invention is directed to the alteration of seed protein levels in plant grain, resulting in grain with increased digestibility/nutrient availability, improved amino acid composition/nutritional value, increased response to feed processing, improved silage quality, and increased efficiency of wet milling.
