In the high-lysine mutant P721 and the high-lysine Ethiopian lines IS11167 and IS11758, contents of starch were relatively low and those of protein relatively high, suggesting a possible mechanism for protein accumulation at the expense of starch accumulation. RY49, also from Ethiopia, had a comparatively high rate of protein accumulation at various phases of maturation. Fat content tended to increase for up to 28 days after flowering and the accumulation rate was highest in RY49 and IS11167 date: 1983 date_type: published publication: Phytochemistry volume: 22 number: 5 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 1097-1101 refereed: TRUE issn: 0031-9422 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0031-9422(83)80199-X related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&q=allintitle%3A+Biochemical+changes+during+seed+development+in+sorghum+%28Sorghum+bicolor%29&btnG=Search&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=&as_vis=0 related_url_type: author citation: Subramanian, V and Jambunathan, R and Seetharama, N (1983) Biochemical changes during seed development in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor).
