ABSTRACT

Esterified and non esterified pectins along with low and high molecular weight xyloglucans were
estimated from the developing seeds of Cajanus cajan. Two varieties; black seeded variety (V1, big
seeded) and B.D.N2 (V2, small seeded) variety in growth parameters were selected for the study. As
seeds of both the varieties showed distinct difference in their growth phases, a remarkable difference
was also observed in cell wall components during their developmental period. Esterified and non
esterified pectins remained higher in V1 seed throughout the development. At cell division phase
both kind of pectic substances were detected while low and high molecular weight xyloglucans
remained in negligible amount. During cell elongation phase a remarkable difference in pectins and
xyloglucans was observed. Dry weight and water content showed a significant correlation with both
pectic substances and xyloglucans. The probable role of wall components in sink size development is
discussed.
