1. Aleurone also serves as the most dietarily beneficial fraction in many brans.2. This causes the seed to lack an aleurone layer. 3. Auxin and cytokinin play a role in the earlier stages of aleurone development. 4. This process drives the flavins in the germ and aleurone layers into the endosperm. 5. Niacytin is concentrated in the aleurone and germ layers which are removed by milling. 6. It consists of the combined aleurone and pericarp. 7. The aleurone layer is important for both the developing seed and the mature plant. 8. The aleurone may also express several pathogen-protective proteins including PR-4. 9. The maturation of aleurone is promoted by ABA while germination is promoted by GA. 10. After completing this function, the aleurone cells in the developing seed undergo apoptosis.
