Abstract




Bioche- mical Changes in Pinus pinea Seeds. I. Pretreatments by High Temperaturas. Rev. esp. Fisiol., 30, 177-182. 1974.


The metabolism of Pinus pinea is studied in order to find any possible correlation between germination promotion and metabolic changes in seeds, by effect of high temperature.


In our experiments, it is possible to distinguish changes in the levels of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and aminoacids by effect of the treatment. The increase in the nucleic acids is slight. Isocitrate lyase and malate dehydrogenase activities showed no significative difference with Controls.
