Abstract
Storage proteins were extracted from sugarcane seeds, globular embryos (for med on embryogenic calluses and collected in early developmental stages) an d embryogenic cells. In all cases, the major percentage of storage proteins were albumins and globulins and the lower percentage were prolamins and gl utelins. Sugarcane is an interesting exception in monocots which usually ha ve high levels of prolamins and glutelins.
