Short Communication Distribution of Glutamyl Transferase in The Ripening Pea Seed

Abstract

Glutamyl transferase is considered identical with glutamine synthetase. Elliott (1953) achieved a 2000-fold purification of the enzyme from the germinating pea seed, and this material has formed a popular plant source of the enzyme.

Distribution of Growth and Enzyme Activity in the Developing Grain of Wheat

“…It may be emphasized now that the localization of this enzyme is not unique for wheat and that an essentially similar distribution has been found in barley and in a very different plant species, viz. pea (Rijven 1961b). In the developing pea seed the specific activity of the embryo is many times lower than that of the seed coat.…”
