Procedures are described for separation and purification of electron-dense bodies previously observed in intact endosperm by electron microscopy. Isolated bodies consist largely of protein. By starch-gel electrophoresis, the bodies contain predominantly slow-moving protein components similf1l' to those found in acetic acid extracts of whole endosperm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
