Chen, Y. (author), Sun, A. (author), Wang, M. (author), Zhu, Z. (author), Ouwerkerk, P.B.F. (author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)Glutelins are the most abundant storage proteins in rice grain and can make up to 80 % of total protein content. The promoter region of GluB-1, one of the glutelin genes in rice, has been intensively used as a model to understand regulation of seed-storage protein accumulation. In this study, we describe a zinc finger gene of the Cys3His1 (CCCH...article 2014

(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Summary Carbohydrates, including starches, are an important energy source for humans, and are known for their interactions with the microbiota in the digestive tract. Largely, those interactions are thought to promote human health. Using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-based stable isotope probing (SIP), we identified starch-fermenting bacteria under...article 2009
