DEF

Protéine de réserve, rencontrée dans les graines et localisée soit dans l'albumen (assise protéique), soit dans les cotylédons.

CONT

Au moment de la maturation, la grande vacuole des cellules de l'albumen se fragmente et donne naissance à des vacuoles plus petites dans lesquelles se concentrent des protéines et des phytates. En fin d'évolution, ces vacuoles se déshydratent; elles sont alors appelées grains d'aleurone.
