I asked Don Kasarda if he would comment on this article for the list. He
writes:
After looking at the web site, I would say no.
As far as we know, and I think it is a pretty safe bet despite my not
knowing of published studies, the gluten proteins are expressed only
in the grain. Presumably, these researchers are working with a
protein that protects wheat seedlings from frost and freezing
temperatures. At this stage of development, the seedlings would not
have headed out and so would have no developing wheat grains.
Hope this helps.
