Abstract:
:Canavanine is an arginine analogue found in the seeds of many common legumes and is known to inhibit protein synthesis and growth in a number of organisms. Yet canavanine may comprise as much as 4% of the seed dry weight of the jackbean (Canavalia ensiformis).Canavanine is accumulated during earlier development in the pod, but disappears upon ripening. A corresponding increase in seed canavanine of about the same magnitude as the loss in the pod takes place during this latter time, but there is a subsequent significant increase of canavanine content of the seed after all detectable canavanine has disappeared from the pod. The first of these changes suggests synthesis of canavanine in the pod and transport into the seeds while the second one indicates a synthesis of canavanine in the seeds themselves, or possibly in the leaf or pod with rapid translocation to the seed.Canavanine was found to be at its highest concentration in the seed coats and pods when they were growing most rapidly and to gradually decline afterwards; however, the canavanine concentration of the seeds was found to be constant throughout fruit development.The pattern of canavanine mobilization in jackbean fruits was quite similar to the known pattern of total nitrogen mobilization typical of other leguminous fruits. This is consistent with a role as a nitrogen transport and storage compound.
