Seasonal changes in the nucleic acids, proteins and amino acids in developing mango buds
1989
Narawadkar, P.R. | Pandey, R.M.
The seasonal changes in ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, total and soluble proteins; and TCA soluble amino acid content of the developing mango buds of Dashehari (alternate bearer) and Bangalora (regular bearer) varieties were studied. The bud samples were taken from three major flushes produced in March, July and September at monthly intervals. In general, there was a slow increase in the levels of different metabolites with the development of the buds. In March-April flush of Dashehari and post-harvest flushes of Bangalora, the levels of RNA, DNA and soluble proteins and content of the buds increased rapidly during October-November which was the peak period of the fruit bud differentiation. A slight decrease in the content of the insoluble proteins and total amino acids was registered during this period.
