since imbibiition of wheat embryos in effective concentrations of this inhibitor does not prevent rapid polysorme formation,
it is likely that mRNA is conserved in the dry embryo in a suitable condition for the support of early protein synthesis.
Similar conclusions have been drawn from studies on embryos and axes-from other species of seeds.
In wheat embryos, mRNA-processing events (e.g., capping and internal methylation) do not appear to be required for conserved (or newly synthesized) messages to be recruited into polysome
