Abstract

Immature seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris removed from the pod at 32 days of development do not germinate unless first subjected to a desiccation treatment. This change from development to germination caused by premature drying is mirrored in the pattern of protein synthesis by the axes. Rehydrated axes from 32-day-developed seeds cease to synthesize proteins that are uniquely associated with development, but instead synthesize some proteins that are similar to those made in the germinating axes from mature dry seeds. Desiccation of 22-day-developed seeds does not lead to their germination, nor does it cause a switch from a developmental to a germination mode of protein synthesis by the axes. It is proposed that desiccation plays a role in permanently suppressing developmental protein synthesis and in inducing germination protein synthesis.
