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