title: Localization of prolamin in oat scutellum cells before and after seed germination.
abstract: Using fluorescent antibodies and high resolution light microscopy the reserve protein, prolamin (avenin) of oat scutellum was localized in the protein bodies of the scutellum cells of dry grain. But 1-3 days after seed germination, a large number of the protein bodies became devoid of prolamin indicating that the mobilization of prolamin in the scutellum of oat seeds after seed germination was very rapid.
