Abstract

Experimenting with the desiccation-sensitive (recalcitrant) seeds of wampee (Clausena lansium L. Skeels) during their development, we measured the rate of their protein synthesis by ~(3)H-leucine incorporation and determined the contents and the composition of their soluble proteins as well as the effects of exogenous ABA on them. The rate of protein synthesis in either the cotyledon or the axis of seeds at an early developmental stage was much higher than that at later stages of development but rose slightly on about 72 DAA, at the physiological maturation stage.
