Abstract: | Amounts of the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylasewere estimated in seedling leaves of barley (Hordewn vulgareL.) and flag leaves of wheat (Triticum aestitum L.) by radialimmuno diffusion. A fourfold variation among barley varietiesfor amount of RuBPCase at the seedling stage was observed (c.3.515mg g1 fr. wt). Range in variation for amountof flag leaf RuBPCase among wheat varieties was 6-09-9.39 mgRuBPCase g1 fr. wt. F1 hybrids from interspecific andintergeneric crosses of crested wheatgrasses (Agropyron andElymus spp.) and their amphidiploid analogues were comparedfor amount of RuBPCase in the most recent fully expanded leavesharvested before seed set. Amount of enzyme varied from 3.4to 77.6 mg g1 fr. wt among the hybrids. No effect chromosomenumber on enzyme concentration was observed among 13 hybridsand their amphidiploid counterparts. Key words: RuBPCase, wheatgrasses |
