Native acidic continuous PAGE showing PME by ruthenium red staining in different seed parts excised from seeds at different times during a dormancy-breaking treatment and during germination/growth. Equal amounts of protein (50 μg) in crude extracts from different seed parts were loaded in each lane. d in cold, Length of time of moist chilling following a previous 30-d warm, moist treatment; d in germ, days in germination conditions; subsequent time points (radicle 1 and 15 mm) are times following the completion of germination.
