Protein Body Formation in Cotyledons of Developing Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) Seeds

N. HARRIS and D. BOULTER

Department of Botany, University of Durham Durham, DH1 3LE

Received: 29 August 1975   

The sequence of protein body formation in cotyledonary cells of developing cowpea seeds has been followed by electron microscopy. Some protein bodies are formed by sub-division of the main vacuoles of the cotyledon cell but most are formed by expansion of cytoplasmic vesicles which may originate from Golgi bodies. Protein deposition is accompanied by a massive proliferation of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi body production.
