Abstract
Changes in the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and sodium present in intact grain, endosperm, testa pericarp and embryo throughout the developmental period were recorded. While the overall pattern in intact grain was one of steady accumulation, considerable variation from this pattern was found within the different parts. The results are discussed in relation to the biochemical events accompanying maturation.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
