Abstract
Pisum sativum has been put forward as a practical alternative to soybean (Glycine max) as a protein source that can be grown in temperate climates. In contrast to the cereals little attention has been paid to the contribution of the reproductive parts of Pisum sativum in the carbon economy of the developing seed. This information would be important in subsequent breeding programmes designed to exploit knowledge of the physiological components of yield.
