Abstract

Abstract Pecan [ Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) Koch] kernel development is characterized by rapid accumulation of dilute acid and dilute alkali soluble proteins and decline of buffer and alcohol soluble proteins during embryo and cotyledon expansion. Mature kernels contained 7.8% protein, consisting of 51% acidic glutelins, 27% alkali glutelins, 9% concentration alkali, 7% prolamine, 4% albumin, and 1% globulin. Each fraction was composed of at least 2 proteins throughout kernel development. Proteins in each fraction were comprised primarily of neutral amino acids, but individual amino acid levels were highest for basic amino acids, with relatively high levels of lysine and sulfur containing amino acids. Electrophoresis of acid soluble glutelins revealed at least 7 subunits with molecular weights of 102, 58, 37, 30, 26, 19, and 16 (x 10 3 ). The data are considered in relation to alternate bearing and manipulations of fruit maturity.
