| 1. | Aleurone also serves as the most dietarily beneficial fraction in many brans.
|
| 2. | This causes the seed to lack an aleurone layer.
|
| 3. | Auxin and cytokinin play a role in the earlier stages of aleurone development.
|
| 4. | This process drives the flavins in the germ and aleurone layers into the endosperm.
|
| 5. | Niacytin is concentrated in the aleurone and germ layers which are removed by milling.
|
| 6. | It consists of the combined aleurone and pericarp.
|
| 7. | The aleurone layer is important for both the developing seed and the mature plant.
|
| 8. | The aleurone may also express several pathogen-protective proteins including PR-4.
|
| 9. | The maturation of aleurone is promoted by ABA while germination is promoted by GA.
|
| 10. | After completing this function, the aleurone cells in the developing seed undergo apoptosis.
