The effects of S deficiency on the complement of proteins laid down in developing seeds of soybean (G. max L. Merr) were examined. S deficiency caused a 40% decrease in the level of glycinins and a contrasting elevation in the level of .beta.-conglycinins. The subunit composition of these proteins was also affected. There was in particular a 3-fold increase in the .beta.-subunit of .beta.-conglycinins in the S-deficient seeds, and this accumulated largely as the Bo-isomer of .beta.-conglycinins, a protein which while virtually devoid of methionine and cysteine retains the physical properties of a normal 7S storage protein. A high degree of selectivity can be exerted by environmental stress over the accumulation of proteins in developing seeds.
