Summary
During germination the tobacco seedling produces nicotine from proteins accumulated in the seed. Later on the nicotine formation of the growing tobacco plant is dependent on the protein synthesis in its root. The comparison of theprotein production by the tobacco root with thenicotine content of the whole plant shows an interesting parallelism.
