Abstract
Developing plant seeds accumulate and store carbohydrate, lipid, and protein that subsequently are used during germination as the source of energy, carbon, and nitrogen. A large number of storage protein genes have been cloned and characterized (Nielsen et. al., 1977). The expression patterns of seed proteins during seed development are highly regulated both developmentally (Golberg et al., 1989; Perez-Grau and Golberg, 1989; Guerche et. al., 1990) and metabolically (Wobus et. al., 1995).
