Abstract

Summary Proteins were extracted from seeds of Cicer arietinum L. at different stages of seed development and analysed by pore gradient electrophoresis and by SDS-disc gel electrophoresis. In contrast to developing pea seeds, there were no marked differences in the times of first appearance of the major albumins and globulins. There were differences in the periods of most rapid net synthesis, those for «vicilin» and most albumins preceding those for three forms of legumin. These differences, together with differences in seed anatomy, support the removal of Cicer L. from the Vicieae to Cicereae.
