Expression of the amino acid permeases PsAAP1 and PsAAP2 was analysed in developing pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants. Both transporters were expressed in seed coats and cotyledon epidermal transfer cells and storage parenchyma cells. AAP expression is developmentally regulated and coincides with the onset of storage protein synthesis. Nitrogen was shown to induce AAP expression and AAP transcript levels were upregulated during the photoperiod. Analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana AAP1 promoter activity in pea, using promoter-β-glucuronidase (promotor-GUS) studies, revealed targeting of GUS to seed coats and cotyledon epidermal transfer cells. Expression was found in the nutritious endosperm during the early stages of seed development, whereas GUS staining in embryos was detected from the heart stage onward. In addition, AAP1 expression was observed in the phloem throughout the plant. This finding equally applied to PsAAP1 expression as shown by in situ mRNA hybridisation, which also demonstrated that PsAAP1 expression was localised to companion cells. Overall, PsAAP1 expression patterns and cellular localisation point to a function of the transporter in phloem loading of amino acids for translocation to sinks and in seed loading for development and storage protein accumulation.

In this paper the complete cDNA sequence of a newly identified triticale phytocystatin, TrcC-7, was analyzed. Because <em>TrcC-7</em> transcripts were present in seeds, we hypothesized that it may regulate storage protein accumulation and degradation. Therefore, changes in mRNA and protein levels during the entire period of seed development and germination were examined. Expression of <em>TrcC-7</em> increased during development and decreased at the end of maturation and subsequently increased during seed germination. Based on these results, TrcC-7 likely regulates cysteine proteinase activity during the accumulation and mobilization of storage proteins.
