Manifestation of agronomically valuable traits in the progeny of a sorghum mutant carrying the genetic construct for RNA silencing of the γ-kafirin gene by L. A. Elkonin, N. V. Borisenko, T. E. Pylaev, O. A. Kenzhegulov, S. Kh. Sarsenova, N. Yu. Selivanov, V. M. Panin

“…One of the reasons for the low nutritional value of sorghum grain is the resistance of its storage proteins (kafirins) to proteolytic digestion, which is due, among other things, to the structural organization of protein bodies, in which γ-kafirin, the most resistant to proteases, is located on the periphery, encapsulating more easily digested α-kafirins. …”
