Free amino acids in the environment of the proembryo during the inhibition phase of its growth (Monocotyledonuos plants)

Abstract

Analyses of the central vacuole sap in the ovules of H. Katharinae and Clivia miniata (during the inhibition phase of proembryo growth) for free amino acids were carried out by means of a Micro Column Amino Acid Analyser. Some similarities and differences have been established for both speciesas regards the change of total concentration and concentration changes of particular amino acids.
