Abstract

It is known that accumulation of the β subunit of β-conglycinin, a major seed storage protein, was repressed and glycinin, another major seed storage protein, was facilitated by exogenous application of methionine (Met). When 0.25 mM seleno-Met (Se-Met) was added to the culture medium, the β subunit accumulation decreased, while glycinin accumulation increased after 7 days of culture. Levels of free Met in immature cotyledons cultured with or without Se-Met were similar. These results suggest that Se-Met affect protein profiles in a similar way to Met.
