Abstract: | During the germination of Cicer arietinum L. the amounts of ethanol, lactate and malate reached their highest values at 24 hr, the concentration of ethanol being about 4 times that of lactate and twice that of malate. The activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and malic enzyme seem to be correlated with the ability of cotyledons to fix CO2 from NaH14CO3 into malate and with the further decrease in this metabolise from 36 hr onwards. |
