Varietal Differences in Growth Potential, Adenylate Energy Level, and Energy Charge of Wheat¹

Dynamic synthesis and utilization of adenosine triphosphate in embryos and seedlings of a fast-growing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety, ‘Yamhill,’ resulted in a higher overall energy level and energy charge than that of slower-growing ‘Hyslop’ seedlings. The varietal difference in growth potential of seedlings appears to be related to energy metabolism and capacity of synthesis.
