Total RNA was extracted from samples comprising two whole grains using the Sigma-Aldrich Spectrum™ Plant Total RNA Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) with the addition of a 6-min incubation with thermostable α-amylase (Megazyme, Wicklow, Ireland) in lysis buffer at room temperature prior to addition of β-mercaptoethanol (Betts et al., 2017 (link)). Following treatment with TURBO DNase-free (Ambion, Life Technologies, Waltham MA), cDNA synthesis was performed using SuperScript®III Reverse Transcriptase according to manufacturer's instructions (Life Technologies, Waltham, MA). Details of gene names, MLOCs and primer details are presented in Table S1. QPCR primers were designed using Primer 3 software (Koressaar and Remm, 2007 (link)) and selected based on specificity as determined by blastn software (Table S1; Acland et al., 2013 (link)). qPCR was performed as described by Burton et al. (2008 (link)) with data normalised using the reference genes HvCyclophilin, HvGAPdH2, HvHSP70, and HvTubulin (Vandesompele et al., 2002 (link)).

thermostable α-amylase Termamyl 120 L (EC 3.2.1.1, from Bacillus licheniformis, ≥500 U•mg -1 protein (biuret)), amyloglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.3, from Aspergillus niger, 260 U•mL -1 ), and protease Alcalase 2.4 L (EC 3.4.21.62, from Bacillus licheniformis, 2.4 AU•g -1 ; all from Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri) were used for preparative dietary fiber isolation. A thermostable α-amylase (EC 3.2.11, from Bacillus licheniformis, 3000 U•mL -1 ) and an amyloglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.3, from Aspergillus niger, 36000 U•g -1 ; both from Megazyme, Bray, Ireland) were used in the approaches to analyze dietary fiber analysis and starch. In addition, a protease (EC 3.4.21.14, from Bacillus licheniformis, 9 U•mg -1 ; Megazyme, Bray, Ireland) was used in the analytical fiber approach. Driselase (from Basidiomycetes) was from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Missouri). All chemicals and reagents were of analytical grade and purchased from Carl Roth (Karlsruhe, Germany), Merck (Darmstadt, Germany), Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Missouri), or VWR (Radnor, Pennsylvania).

Apple pomace was kindly provided by Herbafood Ingredients GmbH (Company of H&F-Group, Werder (Havel), Germany). Detailed information about dietary fiber contents, chemical composition, and polysaccharide structures is given in Schmid et al. [3] . All chemicals and reagents were of analytical grade and purchased from Carl Roth (Karlsruhe, Germany), Merck (Darmstadt, Germany), Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, United States), or VWR (Radnor, PA, USA). thermostable α-amylase Termamyl 120 L (EC 3.2.1.1, from Bacillus licheniformis, 120 KNU. g -1 ), the amyloglucosidase AMG 300 L (EC 3.2.1.3, from Aspergillus niger, 300 AGU g -1 ), and the protease Alcalase 2.5 L (EC 3.4.21.62, from Bacillus licheniformis, 2.5 AU g -1 from Novozymes (Bagsvaerd, Denmark) were used for preparative dietary fiber isolation. A thermostable α-amylase (EC 3.2.11, from Bacillus licheniformis, 3000 U mL -1 ) and an amyloglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.3 from Aspergillus niger) (Megazyme, Bray, Ireland) were used to analyze starch contents. These enzymes in addition to a protease (EC 3.4.21.14 from Bacillus licheniformis) (Megazyme, Bray, Ireland) were used for the analytical dietary fiber analysis excluding resistant starch.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
