Protein and Nucleic Acid Metabolism in Fruits: I. Studies of Amino Acid Incorporation During the Climacteric Rise in Respiration of the Avocado 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Incorporation of 14C L-valine and 14C L-leucine into protein of tissue slices of the avocado fruit was relatively high during the early stages of the climacteric rise, declined sharply thereafter, and was virtually absent at the peak. The incorporation of amino acids in the preclimacteric stage was markedly lower than during the early stage of the respiratory rise. By following incorporation in relation to uptake at several concentrations it was established that the results were not a reflection of endogenous dilution.
