The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) on the expression of the ‘early‐methionine‐labeled’ (Em) polypeptide was examined in cultured, immature wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.) embryos and in developing embryos and in developing embryosin planta. A complementary DNA (cDNA) library was constructed from poly(A)‐rich RNA from immature embryos cultured in the presence of ABA. ABA‐enhanced sequences were first identified by differential colony‐blot hybridization, and then verified using RNA slot‐blot analysis. Dot‐blot hybridization showed that one clone, p1015, was homologous to the previously isolated EmcDNA, pWG432. Electrophoretic analysis of the hybrid‐select translation product of p1015 confirmed its identity as an Emsequence. Comparison of the p1015 cDNA insert size and the Emmessage size, from northern blot analysis, showed that p1015 contained about 87% of the Emsequence. RNA slot‐blot analysis and protein electrophoresis showed that Emmessage, but not Emprotein, accumulated at a low, basal level in immature embryos in the absence of ABA. Neither Emmessage nor Emprotein was seen in three‐day germinated seedlings. Steady‐state levels of Emmessage and protein increased in immature embryos in the presence of ABA, both in culture andin planta. Regulation appeared to be primarily at the level of transcription or specific message stability. Regulation may also involve specific protein stability, since synthesis of Emprotein continued in immature embryos in the absence of ABA, but Emprotein did not accumulate in detectable amounts. We conclude that ABA specifically modulates Emmessage and protein levels in immature embryos, but is probably not responsible for the embryogenic specificity of Emexpression.
