Changes in soluble and insoluble protein with advancing tuber age
| Tuber Age | Protein Fraction
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Soluble | Insoluble | Total | |
| months | mg protein g−1 fresh wt | ||
| 6 | 3.75 | 0.103 | 3.85 |
| 18 | 3.52 | 0.186 | 3.73 |
| 30 | 2.64 | 0.192 | 2.83 |
Soluble and insoluble protein were quantified in 30,000g supernatants and destarched pellets, respectively. Insoluble protein was solubilized with Triton X-100. Linear trends were significant (P < 0.01) for soluble, insoluble, and total protein.
