Contrasting gene expression patterns in grain of high and low asparagine wheat genotypes in response to sulphur supply

Abstract Background Free asparagine is the precursor for acrylamide formation during cooking and processing of grains, tubers, beans and other crop products. In wheat grain, free asparagine, free glutamine and total free amino acids accumulate to high levels in response to sulphur deficiency. In thi...
