【 摘 要 】

Two types of storage pathways are proposed for the synthesis and Compartmentalization of seed reserve globulins and prolamins. A discussion of the regulatory mechanisms in reserve protein topogenesis reveals that certain factors such as solubility characteristics of the protein molecule and/or specific sorting sequences may underline the discrimination in deposition of globulins and prolamins. Finally, a hypothetical relationship between the type of storage pathway and the seed protein concentration is briefly discussed.
