An ontogenetic study of the canavanine and soluble protein pools in the developing jack bean plant, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC., was conducted. Evidence was presented which clearly established the conversion of canavanine to canaline and urea as the principal pathway of canavanine utilization. The catabolic reactions of certain bacteria involving the formation of guanidine or hydroxyguanidine from canavanine are not operative in the cotyledons of jack bean. Evidence was obtained which indicates that a second, minor reaction is functioning in canavanine degradation.
对发育中的刀豆植物（Canavalia ensiformis（L.）DC.）中的瓜氨酸和可溶性蛋白库进行了个体发生学研究。有证据清楚地表明，瓜氨酸转化为瓜氨酸和尿素是瓜氨酸利用的主要途径。某些细菌涉及从瓜氨酸形成胍或羟胍的分解反应在刀豆子叶中不起作用。有证据表明，第二种次要反应在瓜氨酸降解中起作用。
