| Abstract: | There is a substantial increase in the activities of phosphorylase, hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase in white yam tubers as they age. The high glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities suggest that the pentose phosphate pathway is important in yam tuber tissue. |
| Keywords: | tuber phosphorylase hexokinase glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase lactate dehydrogenase alcohol dehydrogenase. |
