DEGRADATION OF STORAGE PROTEINS IN GERMINATING PEANUT SEEDS IN RELATION TO SEED VIGOR
花生种子活力与贮藏蛋白质降解的关系

The endopeptidase activity in high-vigor peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L. )seeds increased rapidly from the 2nd day to 4th day after imbibition and reached its peak at the 4th day after imbibiton, while the endopeptidase activity in medium-vigor seeds increased slowly after imbibition. The contents of salt-soluble proteins and arachin in high-vigor seeds declined more rapidly .than those in medium-vigor seeds, pretreatment with PEG and PUT enhanced both the vigor and the degradation rate of storage proteins of ...
