Two anatomy issues

I wish that someone knowledgeable (backed up by reliable sources, of course) would clarify these two points:

The germ grows into a new plant, and the endosperm feeds the germ. So what is the biological function of the bran? Is it just structural?
According to this article, the bran consists of the aleurone and pericarp. But the Aleurone article suggests that aleurone is the outermost layer of the endosperm. Is aleurone in both endosperm and bran, or what?

-==Bran or Rice Bran==
+== Two anatomy issues ==
-Is this article about Bran or Rice Bran?  This article seemes to get into too much detail about rice bran but ignores most of the other grains.  The rice bran specifics should be in an article about rice bran and the general bran info should be in the bran article.

+# The [[germ]] grows into a new plant, and the [[endosperm]] feeds the germ. So what is the biological function of the bran? Is it just structural?
-Any chance someone could elaborate on the use of bran in pickling? Neither the [[pickling]] nor the [[tsukemono]] articles mention it at all. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Jaddle|Jaddle]] ([[User talk:Jaddle|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jaddle|contribs]]) 20:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC).</small>

-:Rice bran was mentioned as ''nuka'' in the [[tsukemono]] article. I have changed it to "rice bran (''nuka'')" --[[User:163.139.215.193|163.139.215.193]] 15:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

-==Proposed move==
-''This article has been renamed as the result of a [[wikipedia:requested moves|move request]].'' Please check the redirects. [[User:Hajor|&ndash;''Hajor'']] 2 July 2005 05:42 (UTC)
-*[[Bran]] was moved to [[Bran (disambiguation)]]
-*[[Dietary bran]] was moved to [[Bran]]
-== Moving ==
-I propose to move this page to [[bran]] and move that page to [[bran (disambiguation)]]. &mdash; [[User:Pekinensis|Pekinensis]] 03:11, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
-*<s>'''Oppose'''.  I understand the logic, but can't support primary disambiguation for an article that consists of only 2 sentences.  Figure out how to write a couple paragraphs on dietary bran, and then I'd be willing to take a serious look at whether this usage significantly exceeds the mythological and geographic usages.  [[User:Dragons flight|Dragons flight]] 20:57, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)</s>  '''Support'''.  Thank you for making the page worthy of this.  Though I did enjoy reading about [[Bran Castle]] (sometimes called Dracula's Castle).  [[User:Dragons flight|Dragons flight]] 18:20, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
-** Better now? &mdash; [[User:Pekinensis|Pekinensis]] 19:54, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
-*'''Agree''' with move - the length of the current article doesn't change the status of the incoming links, and shouldn't affect where the article is placed. [[User:Sjorford|sjorford]] [[User talk:Sjorford|&rarr;&bull;&larr;]] 22:19, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

-== Bran digestion problems ==
-Is anyone aware of any reliable information on problems with ingesting products containing bran? I experience stomach discomfort when eating storebought products with wheat bran, and digestive problems when eating storebought products containing oat bran. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck finding any info on this due to the massive amount of propaganda in support of bran and whole grain foods as health foods. I've heard that phytic acid may be a culprit, and that foods using sprouted grains may remove the phytic acid and alleviate the problem; I've had a little bit of luck buying sprouted grain bread from health stores, but it's expensive and too different from regular bread for my tastes. Thanks. --[[User:HunterZ|HunterZ]] 20:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
-== Rediculous claim ==
-The last sentence in the article couldn't possibly be true: "The capacity of bran to absorb large volumes of water is exemplified in a well known demonstration in which bran packed into a 1 litre container can be made to absorb 1 litre of water without any spillage." This could only be true of all the molecules that make up the bran are able to pack into the unoccupied space in liquid water. I'm going to have to call bullshit on this. Also, the demonstration is not so well known (insofar as nobody in the biophysics graduate group at UC Berkeley seems to have heard of this...) I'll be removing it since a Google search also doesn't seem to bring anything up; although I'd be more than happy to actually observe the demonstration myself! --[[User:Chodges|chodges]]

-== Removal of False Unsourced Claims and Addition of Sourced Facts ==
-I removed the following from the Health Effects section, "This popularity peaked in 1989, but was short-lived[citation needed], as studies in the early 1990s showed that oat bran only modestly reduced cholesterol[citation needed]." And wording that was supported by this false claim. I also added supported and sourced information on the cholesterol lowering benefits of oat bran.
-== Need mention of how and why bran is removed from grains ==
-I was disappointed to find no mention of methods, reasons for, and history of de-branning, or removal of bran from cereal grains here.<br />--[[User:Yumegusa|Yumegusa]] ([[User talk:Yumegusa|talk]]) 08:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
-==Reversion of minor edits to [[Bran]]==
-These minor edits: [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Bran&diff=237777977&oldid=235188876] are impossible to confuse with vandalism nor are they the kind of statements that require references. Next time, [[User:Piano non troppo]], try to make constructive contributions to wikipedia, thank you.

-==Request for info on Oat Bran==
-Oat bran is an important dietary source of soluble fiber.  Someone needs to add info on it!  [[User:DrHenley|DrHenley]] ([[User talk:DrHenley|talk]]) 03:45, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
