The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for altering
the levels of seed proteins in seed or grain. The invention is directed
to the alteration of seed protein levels in plants, resulting in grain
and seed with increased digestibility/nutrient availability, improved
amino acid composition/nutritional quality, increased response to feed
processing, improved silage quality, and increased efficiency of wet
milling. The invention is further directed to nucleotide sequences
encoding a sorghum delta-kafirin2 protein, sequences encoding a sugar
cane delta prolamin2 protein, sequences encoding a sorghum LKR protein,
and the amino acid sequences so encoded. Methods of using such sequences
are also provided.
