Adenylate Metabolism of Embryonic Axes from Deteriorated Soybean Seeds

United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Agricultural Marketing Research Institute, Postharvest Plant Physiology Laboratory, Beltsville, Maryland 20705

RNA and protein syntheses in axes excised from dry soybean (Glycine max L.) seeds at different levels of deterioration were assayed. Low rates of protein synthesis in slightly deteriorated seeds were not due to losses in ribosomal or soluble fraction activities. However, the lowered rates of RNA and protein syntheses of deteriorated seeds were associated with reduced ATP content of the tissues. Adenine and adenosine conversions to ATP were reduced in deteriorated axes, and these reductions were reflected in reduced incorporation of these compounds into RNA.
