Abstract Extracts prepared from dry pea (Pisum sativum, L; cv oberon) primary axes translate efficiently their endogenous messengers in an in vitro protein synthesizing system. The native long-lived messengers are biologically fully active and direct the synthesis of a whole range of polypeptides with MW ranging up to 130,000. About 0.5% of the total in vitro synthesized polypeptides are recovered in the immunoprecipitate obtained with pea lectin antiserum. Since about one-fourth of the radioactivity in the immunoprecipitate comigrates with authentic pea lectin it is concluded that about 0.1% of the long-lived messengers code for the lectin.
