Abstract
In studies on protein metabolism during grain development of sorghum, most of the label from injected 14C-leucine was found in glutelin and residue fraction towards later stages of maturity. The label in albumin, globulin and prolamin decreased with a concomitant increase in label in glutelin and residue proteins. The concentration of lysine, aspartic acid and glycine decreased while that of leucine, proline, alanine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and cystine increased during grain development. Increase in serine, methionine, valine and isoleucine was only marginal. The proportion of glutamic acid was high at all stages of grain development. Glutelin fraction resolved into 2 peaks on gel chromatography, only one of which with higher MW was labelled, while in albumin both peaks were found to be labelled. Tannin content also increased during grain development
