Abstract

Detached immature pea (Pisum sativum) cotyledons grow for several days in liquid medium and synthesize considerable quantities of chlorophyll, starch, DNA, RNA and protein (including the storage proteins vicilin and legumin). Seeds developing in detached pods also synthesize both major storage proteins.
