Proline content in bean embryonic axes was higher, at 24 h of germination, in the control than in those from desiccated and cryopreserved seeds. There were, later, a proline decrease in the control and embryonic axes from desiccated seeds while increased in axes from cryopreserved seeds. In groundnut, at 24 h, in the control and in embryonic axes from cryopreserved seeds, proline content was lower than in those obtained from desiccated seeds. Absolute glutamate content in bean embryonic axes, was much higherwhen seeds were dried at 45 °C. In groundnut, the control showed the highest values with a clear increase in the content of glutamate, in all cases, at 72 h. The relative content of 16 amino acids, showed, in bean, a generalized decrease compared to control at 24 h, except asparagine that increased when the seeds were dried at 45ºC. In groundnut,the results were more heterogeneous. The results suggest that some amino acids may have a role in adaptation to stressful conditions, especially in the suborthodox species. date: 2017-09-28 date_type: published official_url: http://journalijcir.com/sites/default/files/issue-files/00538-A-2017_0.pdf full_text_status: public publication: International Journal of Current Innovation Research volume: 3 number: 9 pagerange: 783-788 institution: Agronomica department: Biotecnologia_2014 refereed: TRUE issn: 2395-5775 rights: by-nc-nd citation: Tacán, Marcelo, Tapia, César and Pérez Ruiz, César (2017).
