Sentence examples for barley storage from inspiring English sources

We showed variation in the temporal expression of genes coding for barley storage proteins.

Hansen et al. [ 16], using microarray derived data, reported variation in the temporal expression of genes coding for barley storage protein family members within the cultivar Barke.

Proline is an amino acid which dominates barley storage proteins but also performs an important function as a protective compatible osmolyte, scavenging free radicals [ 17- 19].
