Taxonomic variation in total leaf protein amino acid compositions of monocotyledonous plants

Protein contents and protein amino acid compositions of different regions of leaf blades and of leaves representing different physiological ages, taken from Aranda Christine (Liliiflorae) and Languas galanga (Zingiberiflorae) showed little intraspecific variation. However, leaf amino acid compositio...

Description
Summary:Protein contents and protein amino acid compositions of different regions of leaf blades and of leaves representing different physiological ages, taken from Aranda Christine (Liliiflorae) and Languas galanga (Zingiberiflorae) showed little intraspecific variation. However, leaf amino acid compositions of 25 plant species covering the major taxonomic groups of the Monocotyledonae showed variation and group by group comparisons revealed taxonomic patterns.
