3D Electron Microscopy Gives a Clue: Maize Zein Bodies Bud From Central Areas of ER Sheets

Zeins are the main storage proteins in maize seed endosperm, and the onset of zein synthesis in young seeds challenges the endomembrane system and results in the formation of storage organelles. Even though zeins lack a conventional endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention signal, they accumulate within...
