Abstract
Using a combination of high resolution ion exchange chromatography and in vivo labelling with [ 35 S]-cysteine, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) isolectin patterns from different tissues were analyzed and the relative accumulation of newly synthesized individual isolectin quantified. It appears that the isolectin composition is virtually identical in root tips of both seedlings and adult plants as well as in embryos of different developmental stages. In addition, the relative accumulation of each isolectin is very well correlated with its relative abundance. Experiments with abscisic acid further indicated that this plant growth regulator does not alter pattern of isolectin synthesis in embryos or in root tips.
