Abstract: | The level of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) (E.C. 4.3.1.5[EC])activity was greatest in the basal portion of freshly harvestedasparagus spears and decreased toward the tips. Basal disksdeveloped large increases in L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activityin response to excision and incubation. The level of PAL activitymeasured in basal tissue of intact spears increased with storage,while the ability of the same tissue to respond to excisionand incubation with increased PAL activity was lost.
