Abstract
Cell-free extracts from dry wheat (Triticum vulgare L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) embryos do not synthesize their corresponding lectins when incubated under conditions optimalized for translation of either exogenous or endogenous mRNA. Only when the extracts are prepared and incubated in the complete absence of sulphydryl containing compounds lectins are synthesized in vitro. Since immunoprecipitation techniques could not demonstrate unequivocally the presence of lectin among the cell-free translation products a specific affinity purification procedure has been developed in order to proof the presence of stored lectin mRNAs in dry wheat and rye embryos.
