The electrophoretic patterns (disc electrophoresis) of the studied dehydrogenases: glucose-6-phosphate - (A), malate - (B), glutamate - (C), alcohol - (D) and lactate dehydrogenase (E), in the axial organs of isolated <i>Lupinus luteus</i> embryos and seedlings cultivated over 12 days are characterized by great similarities. With time, after the third day of cultivation the patterns begin to become less deyeloped. Analyses performed during the first 10 hours of imbibition of seed parts indicate that the maximal development of isozyme patterns occurs during the third hour after which the patterns become poorer. The most uniform type of pattern. and the lowest number of isozymes was shown by glutamate dehydrogenase, the richest pattern was shown by malate dehydrogenase. No band common for a 11 the 27 experimental elements was found.

A rich and active spectrum of esterases (E) exists already in the organs of a dry seed. The isolation of axes from the cotyledons exerts a considerable influence on the pattern of E. In the axial organs of a seedling the spectra and activity become impoverished starting from the 3rd day of culture in the dark. On the other hand in the axial organs isolated from the cotyledons from that moment onwards the spectra become richer and more active, particularily in the root. It appears that the enhancement of spectra in the detached axes is not dependent on the elimination with the cotyledons of a source of inhibitors, since in the cotyledons, until the end of the culture period (12 days), a rich pattern of E is maintained. Peroxidase (P) appears starting from the third day giving impoverished spectra, in general development similar to E. The removal of the seed coat from dry seeds exerts during the first two days of imbibition a strong influence on the spectra of axial and cotyledonary enzyms.

A comparative study of the lipid bilayer phase status and structure of the outer membrane of free-livingBradyrhizobiumstrain 359a (Nod+Fix+) and 400 (Nod+FixL) orRhizobium leguminosarum97 (Nod+Fix+, effective) and 87 (Nod+FixL, ineffective) has been carried out. Also, the effect of the symbiotic pair combination on the lipid bilayer structure of the bacteroid outer membrane and peribacteroid membrane, isolated from the nodules ofLupinus luteusL. orVicia fabaL., has been studied. As a result, it is shown that the lipid bilayer status of the bacteroid outer membrane is mainly determined by microsymbiont, but not the host plant. In the contrast, the lipid bilayer status of the peribacteroid membrane and, as a consequence, its properties depend on interaction of both symbiotic partners.

Both ginseng and American ginseng are world-famous traditional medicines with multiple bioactivities. The deep dormancy of their seeds causes serious problems in artificial cultivation. However, little is known about the physiological mechanism of seed dormancy and how to shorten the seed dormancy period for these two plant species. An experiment was conducted to determine whether endosperm removal would promote embryo development in ginseng and American ginseng and if in vitro embryos would suffer nutrient deficiency during seedling establishment. The results show that excised embryos developed radicles longer than 2 mm, using any culture method, whereas no germination was observed for intact seeds. Excised embryos, without the endosperm nutrient-supply have the ability of developing into a normal seedling, but in vitro embryos grown on MS medium have greater fresh weight, seedling height and radicle length than those grown on filter paper and pure agar medium. In summary, removing endosperm can overcome physiological dormancy of ginseng and American ginseng seeds, and nutrient level determines the development and growth rate of the embryo.
