AbstractFeeding stem–leaf–pod explants with d-chiro-inositol and d-pinitol was used as a method to modify α-d-galactosides in developing pea (Pisum sativum) seeds. Four genotypes differing in the composition of raffinose, stachyose and verbascose (raffinose family oligosaccharides or RFOs) in seeds – high RFOs (cv. Tiny), low RFOs (SZD175) and low verbascose (cv. Hubal and cv. Wt 506) – were studied. Although seeds of all examined pea lines were able to take up both d-chiro-inositol and d-pinitol, only d-chiro-inositol was effectively converted into its galactosides: mainly fagopyritol B1 (O-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-d-chiro-inositol) and fagopyritol B2 (O-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-O-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-d-chiro-inositol). In seeds of pea lines naturally containing low levels of verbascose (cv. Hubal) and low RFOs (SZD175), the enhanced accumulation of fagopyritols depressed the RFO level by c. 64 and 20%, respectively. Moreover, in both genotypes, about 25 and 30% of total galactose bound in α-d-galactosides occurred in fagopyritols. d-Pinitol present in the pea seeds was converted into monogalactosides, but their accumulation was several-fold lower than that of fagopyritols and did not significantly influence the accumulation of RFOs. Pea seeds with the composition of soluble carbohydrates modified by feeding with either of the cyclitols were able to complete germination.

The activities of two soluble enzymes which hydrolyse L-leucyl �-naphthylamide have been measured in extracts from tissues of seeds and seedlings of Pisum sativum L. by using the chelator 1,10-phenanthroline as a selective inhibitor. In all the tissues studied, the phenanthroline-insensitive enzyme contributed the major proportion of the total activity against this substrate. In developing seeds, most of the activity of both enzymes is found in the maturing cotyledons, which develop maximum phenanthroline-sensitive and -insensitive activities respectively of 0.51 and 1.26 �mol per min per cotyledon (cv. Melbourne Market, dwarf) or 0.84 and 1.32 �mol per min per cotyledon (cv. Telephone, tall). In the cotyledons of germinating seeds, both enzyme activities increase within 24 h to values which are substantially lower than the maximum values found during development. These activities are maintained between 1 and 6 days from imbibition then they decline rapidly during the period of maximum rate of removal of protein from the cotyledon. The highest activities of both enzymes occur in tissues which are very active metabolically. This supports the view that they function as aminopeptidases in the general turnover of cellular proteins, rather than playing some additional specific role in the mobilization of storage proteins during germination.
