Studies on changes of protein contents in various organs of the germinating soybean and of RNA contents of cotyledon of it

대두발아중(大豆發芽中)의 각기관단백질(各器官蛋白質) 및 자엽(子葉) RNA 변동(變動)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

Changes in the protein contents of various organs of the germinating soy bean as well as the effect of X-irradiation on the RNA content of cotyledon of it were investigated. 1) The protein content of germinating organs other than cotyledon increase while that of cotyledon decreases as germination proceeds, which is indicative of the fact that the former organs are anabolic and the latter catabolic in nature with regard to their protein metabolism during germination. 2) The cotyledon RNA content of soybean decreases until the 6 th day after germination initiated, and increases thereafter . When the seeds are exposed to $300{\gamma}$ X-irradiation, these tendencies seem to be accelerated, but when exposed to $600{\gamma}$ and $900{\gamma}$ X-irradiation the decrement of RNA in the early stage is prominent and the synthetic recovery in the later period is inhibited markedly due to radiation damage rather than radiation activation.

대두발아시(大豆發芽時)의 각기관단백질(各器官蛋白質)의 변동(變動)과 자엽(子葉) KNA 함량(含量)의 증감(增減)이 X 선조사(線照射)로 어떤 변화(變化)를 일으키는가를 분석연구(分析硏究)하여 다음의 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 1) 자엽(子葉)을 제외(除外)한 타발아기관(他發芽器官) 즉(卽) 배축(胚軸), 유엽(幼葉), 유근(幼根) 등(等)은 발아(發芽)와 더부러단백질(蛋白質)이 증가(增加)하나 자엽(子葉)에서는 감소(減少)함으로 발아(發芽)에 있어서 전자(前者)들은 합성적(合成的)인 후자(候者)에서는 분해적(分解的)인 대사(代謝)를 영위(營爲)한다. 2) 발아성장중(發芽成長中)의 대두자엽(大豆子葉) RNA는 발아시작후(發芽始作後) 6일(日)까지는 감소(減少)하고 기후(其後)는 증가(增加)하는바, $300{\gamma}$의 X 선조사(線照射)로서 이 변화(變化)는 촉진(促進)되는 반면(反面) $600{\gamma}$, $900{\gamma}$의 X 선조사(線照射)로서는 오히려 손상적(損傷的)으로 작용(作用)한다.
