Abstract
Two forms of EF-1 are present in the high-speed supernatant fraction from wheat embryo homogenate. In embryos from dry seeds EF-1H is 55% of the total amount of EF-1, while after 40 h of germination this form completely disappears. When germination and protein synthesis are accelerated by means of 6-benzyladenine, the rate of conversion of EF-1H is increased. On the other hand, the block of germination and of the evolution of protein synthesis by abscisic acid, block this conversion; the block of water uptake, that stops germination and causes a decrease in protein synthesis, reverses the conversion of EF-1H to EF-1L, increasing EF-1H from 15% to 40% of the total.Pubblicazioni consigliate
