Abstract

The changes in level of activity during the germination of wheat seedling (Triticum durum) in the dark have been investigated with 4 enzymes of glycolysis, 2 enzymes of the pentose phosphate shunt, 2 of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, 2 of amino acid metabolism and acid phosphatase. For some enzymes, which function in photosynthesis (fructose diphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase NADP dependent), the level of activity was influenced by the presence of light.
