RESUMO
In contrast to earlier reported results of similar experiments in peas, in which almost no increase in protease activity occurred in incubated detached cotyledons, we report here an increase in protease activity in both attached and detached bean cotyledons. Detached bean cotyledons showed continually increasing protease activity up to the 12th day, while that in attached cotyledons declined after 6 days. The free amino acid level in detached cotyledons reached a maximum at the 11th day; protease formation leveled off after 50% of the original seed protein was digested. These data suggest that high free amino acid levels may inhibit protease formation.
