Protein Synthesis in Cotyledons of Pisum sativum L: I. Changes in Cell-Free Amino Acid Incorporation Capacity during Seed Development and Maturation 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The changes in protein content of pea cotyledons have been followed during the period from 9 to 33 days after flowering. Initially protein content increased gradually with a rapid period of deposition occurring between days 21 and 27 after flowering. After the 28th day the rate of accumulation of protein declined as the seed dehydrated and matured. At maturity the pea cotyledon contained approximately 25% protein which was divided into albumins and globulins in the ratio of 1:1.4.
