Abstract: | Total, mitochondrial and peroxisomal palmitate oxidation capacities were compared in pea, from the dry seed to 14 days after imbibition. Total beta-oxidation varied over the measured time period and showed four peaks of activity at day 2, days 5-6, day 10 and days 12-13. The contribution of peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation to this overall beta-oxidation varied. Over the first 48 h of seed germination, peroxisomal beta-oxidation accounted for 80-100% of the total observed beta-oxidation. The larger peaks of beta-oxidation at days 5-6, day 10 and days 12-13 were due primarily to mitochondrial beta-oxidation activity, which accounted for 70-90% of the observed total beta-oxidation at these times. The peaks of activity are related to observed stages in seedling development. |
