Abstract
Developing seeds of two chickpea varieties were collected on the 20th, 40th and 60th day after flowering (DAF) and analysed for trypsin inhi bitors (TI). The varieties differed in their TI profiles and activity units. The TI band and activity were not detectable at 20 DAF in the v arieties Annigeri and BDN 9-3. Annigeri showed the highest total and s pecific TI activity, and five isoinhibitors at 40 DAF, which decreased to four at 60 DAF. The appearance and disappearance of TI bands durin g seed development indicate their specific posttranslational modificat ion and/or the presence of isolated gene groups.
