Embryonal antigens in maize caryopses: The temporal order of antigen accumulation during embryogenesis

Abstract: Abstract. The sequential appearance of a specific group of embryonal antigens (EA), presumably globulins, was demonstrated in developing maize (Zea mays L.) caryopses using a double immunodiffusion test with absorption of common antigens. Cross immunoelectrophoresis was employed to follow the differential pattern of EA accumulation in the growing scutellum and embryonic axis. The transient nature of two predominant EA seems to indicate their role as specific protein reserves of embryonal tissues. Another presu… Show more

“…These glycoproteins are of interest from several points of view: firstly, macromolecules of the pollen wall have been implicated in the recognition of pollen by a compatible stigma (Heslop-Harrison, 1975); the glycoproteins studied are present in the pollen wall (Knox et al, 1980) and may be involved in the pollen-stigma recognition. Secondly, both glycoproteins are effective antigens in rabbits; increasingly, immunological techniques are being used to demonstrate markers of identity in plants (Raff et al, 1980) and to monitor molecular changes associated with differentiation (Khavkin et al, 1977(Khavkin et al, , 1979, although the antigens involved have not been chemically defined. The present study contributes to our understanding of the nature of antigenic plant macromolecules.…”

“…These may involve proteins similar to legumin. Globulins resembling those of legumes have been reported to occur in corn (maize, Zea mays) (Khavkin et al, 1977). In addition, the glutelin fraction of rice was recently shown to possess polypeptides homologous with pea legumin (Zhao et al, 1983).…”
