Notes:
Five fractions of parenchymatous cells of the cotyledon of the peanut were isolated by homogenization and differential centrifugation from nonaqueous media. These are two protein-rich fractions (one of which appears to be aleurone grains), starch grains, a fines material, and cell wall fragments. In addition, a fraction composed largely of vascular tissue of the cotyledon was isolated. The nitrogen of the cell is concentrated in the two protein-rich fractions, phytin in the aleurone grains, sucrose mostly in the fines fraction and to a lesser extent in the starch granules, and ribonucleic acid in the fines fraction. The proteins in both protein-rich fractions appear to be the same as judged by chromatography and zone electrophoresis.
