The ultrastructure of cotyledon cells is described at five stages of lupin seed development, distinguished on the basis of their morphological features. It was found that the endoplasmic reticulum nad dictyosomes participate in the synthesis and transport of storage protein, and that protein is deposited in the central vacuole or in newly forming ones. In the investigated zone of lupin cotyledon cells two forms of protein bodies were observed differing in the contrast and compactness. Both were the simple protein, bodies. Parallelly to storage protein synthesis, thickening of the cell walls was observed which may indicate synthesis and deposition of hemicellulose in them. Storage lipids surrounding the protein bodies form in the end stages of seed development.

The storage protein bodies of plant seeds usually contain globoid crystals with a high content of phytin, a rich store of Mg, P, K and Ca. By energy dispersive X-ray analysis, Mn and Fe have now been located in the globoid crystals of protein bodies in the seed embryos of Avena sativa and Casuarina species. Their levels in sections of globoids, relative to the levels of the major elements present, is consistent with their relative levels stored in whole seeds of various species as determined by chemical analysis.

Phosphopyruvate carboxylase and malic enzyme were detected in etiolated coleoptiles of Avena sativa, and it was concluded that the incorporation of 14C-labeled bicarbonate into aspartate and glutamate involved the activity of the former enzyme. IAA stimulated the fixation of labeled bicarbonate, and the incorporation of labeled leucine into protein was increased in the presence of carbon dioxide. It is suggested that the carbon dioxide stimulated growth of Avena coleoptiles is due to an increased rate of protein synthesis which is dependent on carbon dioxide fixation.
