Abstract:Soluble nitrogenous compounds in the seeds and hulls of developing fruits of the pea (Pisum sativum, var. Canner's Perfection) were studied at successive stages of growth during two seasons. Of the 26 compounds studied, some were undetectable in some samples and all decreased in the seeds during the period of intense protein synthesis. The results are discussed in conjunction with those of other workers.
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.
