Patterns of Protein Synthesis in Lolium temulentum (L.)

II. DURING SEED DEVELOPMENT

C. L. HEDLEY and J. L. STODDART

Welsh Plant Breeding Station Aberystwyth

The fresh-weight growth curve of seeds of Lolium temulentum (L.) is shown to be biphasic, the first maximum coinciding with the initial expansion phase of the seed and the second occurring during the deposition of storage products in the endosperm. Amino-acid incorporation reached peak values at three points in the ripening sequence with the highest rate occurring during the first fresh-weight maximum. The activities of amylase ({alpha}+ß), alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, acid phosphatase, malate dehydrogenase (NAD dependent), and peroxidase were followed throughout maturation. Observed fluctuations in these enzymes are discussed in relation to the changes in the rates of protein synthesis and fresh-weight increase.
