Polyamine content arginine and S. aderosylmethonine decarbosylases in seeds from Cicer arietinum
Abstract
Polyamines are nitrogenous compounds implicated in plant growth and development.
In this paper we have quantified the levels of free and bound Put, Spd, Spm and Cad,
in the embryonic axes and the cotyledons of chick-pea seeds. On the other hand, we have
studied the optimal conditions assays for sorne enzymes of polyamines biosynthesis:
ADC, ODC and SAMDC We have detected the four polyamines in both free and bound
forms, being Spd the most abundant. ODC activity was under the limit detection, while
ADC and SAMDC were present in the soluble fraction.
