Abstract
Fresh weight and dry weight as well as quantitative and qualitative protein changes in the developing soybean (Glycine max) seed were described from 12 days after flowering until maturity. The seed proteins were separated on sucrose density gradients into three major fractions, having average sedimentation coefficients of 2.2S, 7.5S, and 11.8S. The 2.2S sedimenting proteins predominated at very early stages of development (12 days after flowering) and decreased proportionately throughout maturation. The 7.5S and 11.8S components appeared to be synthesized later in maturity and in larger amounts than the 2.2S proteins. Electrophoretic studies on extracts from whole seeds and on isolated protein fractions confirmed the early abundance of proteins in the 2.2S fraction and revealed temporal differences in the accumulation of three components of the 7.5S fraction. The 11.8S sedimenting fraction appeared throughout seed development as a homogeneous protein which accumulated in the seed with a time course similar to that of the total 7.5S protein fraction.Keywords
