Abstract excerpt
Most of the phosphorus in the resting seed is stored inside protein storage vacuoles as PA (phytic acid; InsP(6)). The biosynthesis and accumulation of PA can be detected beginning from a few days after anthesis and seem to continue during seed development until maturation. The first step in PA biosynthesis is the formation of Ins3P by conversion of glucose 6-phosphate. This is then followed by a sequential and...
