| Abstract: | Germinating pea seedlings (Pisum sativum var. Alaska) contain high concentrations of d-alanine, which occurs in the decotyledonized parts as the conjugates, N-malonyl-d-alanine and γ-l-glutamyl-d-alanine. By contrast, free alanine in pea seedlings is almost all l-isomer. During early stages of the germination, γ-l-glutamyl-d-alanine increased significantly and amounted to ca. 2.5 μmol/seedling at 8 days. |
