Abstract
The cellular amino acid composition of plant cells was analyzed. The callus of carrot (Daucus carota), leaves of Torenia fournieri and protocomb-like body of Cymbidium, s.p. were examined as examples of plant cells. The cellu lar amino acid compositions differed in the plant cells, but their basic pa tterns were quite similar. It is concluded that the basic pattern of the ce llular amino acid composition is conserved in all terrestrial organisms, in cluding plants.
