Abstract

SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of seed protein extracts showed synthesis of major legumin and vicilin polypeptides from 30 OAF onwards though very faint polypeptide bands could be seen at early stage of 10 OAF. Globulin synthesis enhanced and dominated in the second half of seed development. In germinating seeds, legumin polypeptides (mol wt 75–66, 45–41 kD) and vlcllin polypeptides (mol wt 54 kD) were degraded Increasingly from 2nd to 6th day of germination. Globulins and glutellns decreased and albumins Increased from 2nd to 6th day of seed germination.
