Abstract

The article looks into the structures, sorting determinants, and protein engineering of seed storage proteins and crop development with engineered seed proteins. It discusses a strategy for the development of transgenic crops to utilize seed protein sources that are used to prevent lifestyle-related diseases and improve human health by consumption. It notes the significance of protein engineering in designing seed storage proteins that contain bioactive peptides which improve human health.
