Abstract

Percent protein and methionine content as milligrams per gram of meal and as milligrams per gram of protein were determined for 19 lines of peas (Pisum sativum). A highly significant correlation (r = 0.83) was found between percent protein and methionine content (mg/g meal) of these parent lines, indicating that methionine content (mg/g protein) should be used in determining genetic variability for methionine content.
