Cover Story: Seed storage proteins must be hydrolyzed by proteases to facilitate the delivery of amino acids essential for embryo growth and development. This review focuses on the current implications of proteases in the germination of two cereal species, barley and wheat, for which the establishment of processes of proteolytic control during the germination process has considerable economic value. Emphasis is placed on recent attempts to increase our understanding the proteases involved in barley and wheat seed germination by means of novel genomic and proteomic technologies. View this paper
