Abstract:
The patterns of protein biosynthesis in the embryo and endosperm during embryogenesis in the Scots pine were studied using electrophoresis and biochemistry methods. Proteins of the albumin-globulin fraction were visualized already at the early embryonic stages. The main polypeptide components (48-60, 37-39, and 20-22 kDa) were gradually accumulated in the course of maturation. A high synchrony was noted between the stages of embryogenesis and molecular events related to protein biosynthesis and accumulation in the developing seed.
