Lysine level in solvent fractions of pearl millet

Lysine level in solvent fractions of pearl millet - United States of America : ACS Publications, 1979.
Peer review
A typical whole grain sample of normal pearl millet was separated into five fractions by the Landry-Moureaux method. The distribution of proteins among the five fractions resembled that found in corn and not that in sorghum. Complete amino acid analysis of the fractions was made. Of special interest was the low level of lysine in fraction V , which is similar to that found in sorghum. On the basis of this finding, it is predicted that high lysine pearl millet when identified ½'ill resemble high lysine sorghum, not opaque-2 corn, in its total lysine content.
