Abstract: 
The absolute amounts and the percentages of the individual protein fractions of cereal grains [winter wheat cv. Caribo, summer barley cv. Aramir and oats cv. Tiger] changed dramatically during the process of germination. An exogenous N supply, as NH4NO3 solution, during the process of germination changed relationships among the individual protein fractions in germinated cereal grains. After a certain period of germination with exogenous N supply, greater amounts of reserve proteins (prolamins and glutenins) were still present than those without an additional N supply. With an exogenous N supply the N mobilization from reserve proteins of the grains apparently can be decreased. The changes in the amounts of the protein fractions during germination were .apprx. the same, independent of darkness or daylight during germination. The germination with additional UV light treatment had no definite effect on the quantitative changes of the protein fractions contigent on germinations.
