Distribution of Serotonin in Juglans regia Seeds During Ontogenetic Development and Germination
Serotonin (5-HT) was measured by HPLC with electrochemical detection in walnuts (Juglans regia) during ontogeny and germination.
Whereas 5-HT levels in catkins were low and did not increase during maturation, they increased in seed buds. The embryo reached highest amounts of 5-HT mainly during the final development of the seeds. Extremely high concentrations of 5-HT (1.6 mg g-1) were observed in the seed coat. In the seeds the 5-HT content remained stable during their storage over a period of at least one year.
The level of 5-HT in the cotyledons doubled during germination in two months. In the shoots the apical buds contained as much 5-HT as the seed coat whereas the 5-HT concentration in the roots was extremely low. Besides the possibility that 5-HT is not more than an end product of tryptophan metabolism its high concentration in seed coats and apical buds suggest a function in the defense against other plants or pests.
