M.  aAmino Acid and Protein Metabolism in Bermuda Grass During Water Stress  c1966  aThe ability of Arizona Common and Coastal Bermuda grass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] to synthesize amino acids and proteins during water stress was investigated. Amino acids were continually synthesized during the water stress treatments, but prtein synthesis was inhibited and protein levels decreased. Water stress induced a 10- to 100-fold accumulation of free proline in shoots and a 2- to 6-fold accumulation of free asparagine, both of which are characteristic responses of water-stressed plants. Valine levels increased, and glutamic acid and alanine levels decreased.  ametabolism  aproteins  awater stress  aMetabolismo  aAminoacidos  aAminoacids  aEstresse Hidrico  aGramineas  aGrass  aProteinas1 aNAYLOR, A.
