Vicilin and legumin, the storage Proteins of seed, were Purified from ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) endosperm cells. They were immunized in rabbits, and antibodies were raised respectively. Using these two antibodies, double immunogold labeling of vicilin and legumin was carried out to determine the gap of synthetic time and the transport pattern of vicilin and legumin in the ginseng endosperm cells. Vicilin and legumin were synthesized at the same time at early embryo developmental stage. They were secreted from the Golgi bodies and accumulated into the small vacuoles. As the endosperm cells developed, vicilin and legumin localized in the small vacuoles were gradually transported toward the large central vacuole where they were stored. Protein bodies were derived from the vacuoles filled with proteins and distributed in the endosperm cells of mature red seed. Protein bodies were various in size from 1 to 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in which vicilin and legumin were mixed each other. The number of small particles labeled on the vicilin was greater than that of large particles labeled on the legumin in the protein bodies indicating that the amount of vicilin is higher than that of legumin in the protein bodies.

완두 종자 발달의 이른 시기에 특징적으로 조면 소포체 내강에 단백질이 축적되는데 이 단백질에 대한 전자현미경적 면역세포 화학적 반응을 실시한 결과 legumin으로 확인되었다. 이 단백질은 소포체 내강에 점점 축적되고 소포체 끝이 부풀어서 단백과립으로 발달하였다. 완두의 단백과립 발달 과정은 3가지 유형이 확인 되었는데, 단백질 저장 액포의 분절에 의해서 형성된 제 1형 단백과립, 가장자리에 단백질이 축적된 단백질 저장 액포의 budding에 의해서 형성된 제 2 형 단백과립, 그리고 단백질 저장 소포체의 끝이 부풀어서 형성된 제 3형 단백과립으로 구분되었다. 제 3형 단백과립은 수정 후 $23\sim25$일 사이의 짧은 기간에 급격하게 발달되어 자엽세포를 가득차게 만드는 것으로 확인 되었으며, 이러한 유형은 지금까지 알려지지 않은 새로운 단백과립 발달과정으로 생각된다.

Protein bodies in the endosperm cells of mature red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) were distributed evenly in the cytoplasm and their size varied from 1 to $8{\mu}m$. Three types of protein bodies were detected and they are spherical or egg-shaped ones containing homogeneous matrix only, spherical ones containing globoids, and irregular shaped ones. Protein bodies degraded in two patterns, one is to start the degration of the body from the surface toward the center, while the other is that the body was broken evenly and then degraded gradually. After degradation, only the limiting membrane remained, that causes the body to be empty. The limiting membranes fused with each other to form a large vacuole. Vicilin and legumin decreased in the endosperm cells as the protein bodies degraded gradually whereas they increased in the umbiliform layers.
