Comparison between wheat embryos isolated mechanically and by floating off from organic solvents
- 1 Institute for Botany and Microbiology, Nuclear Research Centre Jülich, West Germany
Wheat embryos floated off from organic solvents have been compared with mechanically isolated embryos. The results of comparative investigations, including germination,in vivo formation of polysomes and efficiency of cell free preparations forin vitro protein synthesis, favour the use of floated embryos for studies of biochemical processes during germination.
