Abstract: | In the presence of gibberellic acid (GA3) aleurone layers and isolated aleurone protoplasts of Avena fatua accumulate specific isozymes of acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2). Some of these may be involved in mobilizing aleurone-grain phosphate reserves during germination. The hormone also controls secretion of other specific molecular forms of the enzyme that probably assist in endosperm hydrolysis. The accumulation and secretion of putative cell-wall-associated isozymes are stimulated by the action of GA3 in isolated protoplasts. This effect however, is apparently over-ridden in the intact tissue, possibly by a cell-wall-based feedback mechanism.Abbreviations GA3 gibberellic acid - pI isoelectric point(s) |
