Abstract

The embryo and endosperm of corn seed were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. This paper investigated the change of embryo and endosperm under the action of microcystins (MC). The characteristic absorption peaks of embryo and endosperm were confirmed and analyzed on spectrum. The experimental evidence had shown that the ratio (I_1743:1648) diminished, with the concentration of MC increased. In conclusion, this experiment demonstrated the relative intensity of characteristic absorption peaks associated with protein and lipid was altered by different concentrations of MC.
