The effect of soaking injury in bean seeds on protein synthesis in embryonic axes
TLDR
The capacity and pattern of protein synthesis in axes of seeds soaked in CO 2 -saturated water recovered subsequent to soaking and approached that of non-soaked seeds.Abstract:
The capacity for protein synthesis in embryonic axes of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Top Crop seeds was reduced markedly by soaking in airsaturated and CO 2 -saturated water. The former treatment induces soaking injury while the latter treatment prevents injury. After soaking, the capacity for protein synthesis in axes of seeds soaked in air-saturated water declined and the pattern of synthesis remained almost similar to that at the time of termination of soaking. However, the capacity and pattern of protein synthesis in axes of seeds soaked in CO 2 -saturated water recovered subsequent to soaking and approached that of non-soaked seeds.read more

Oxygen deprivation stress in a changing environment
TL;DR: The diversity of responses to flooding in wild plants suggests that, depending on the life strategy and habitat of the species, many different mechanisms may be involved in adapting plants to survive periods of inundation and no one mechanism on its own is adequate for ensuring survival.

Whole plant adaptations to fluctuating water tables
TL;DR: It is argued that reductionist investigations, which examine isolated organs or individual processes, may not be the most suitable method to apply to understanding the complexity of reactions that are needed to survive flooding and a holistic approach is advocated which examines the reactions of whole plants to changing water levels at different seasons of the year.

The effect of soaking injury in seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris L. on germination, respiration and adenylate energy charge
TL;DR: It appears that soak-injured seeds lack the potential to switch from an anaerobic to an aerobic respiration pattern causing low ATP levels in these axes, and it is speculated that the latter seems to be the result of limited pyruvate supply.

The potential of hot water treatments for curtailing seed-associated mycoflora.
TL;DR: Applied as a pre-sowing treatment, hot water treatment shows promise for producing a crop of superior quality, less prone to fusarial pathogenesis, and may be of particular importance to Third-World subsistence communities.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding
TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

The Role of Maturation Drying in the Transition from Seed Development to Germination
TL;DR: Results support the contention that drying plays a role in the suppression of the developmental metabolic programme and in the permanent induction of a germination/growth programme.

High rates of protein synthesis by isolated chloroplasts.
TL;DR: Improvements are described in the preparation and in vitro conditions of an intact pea chloroplast system which provides high efficiency for translation of endogenous messenger RNA, using light as an energy source to suggest extensive reinitiation, and repeated utilization of the messenger RNA that code for thylakoid proteins.
