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?

-*<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.

Though I did enjoy reading about [[Bran Castle]] (sometimes called Dracula's Castle).  [[User:Dragons flight|Dragons flight]] 18:20, Jun 23, 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)
