Amylases in developing barley seeds.

The amylases of developing barley seeds (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) were investigated by colorimetric and electrophoretic methods. Maxima of amylolytic activity appeared in the aleurone layers and starchy endosperm at 5 and 20 days after anthesis. Amylase from 5-day-old aleurone layers could be separated into four rapidly moving bands with alpha-amylase activity. By 20 days the four bands had been replaced by seven bands of medium mobility. These seven bands of amylase were electrophoretically identical to those observed when mature aleurone layers are treated with gibberellic acid. Immature aleurone layers failed to respond to exogenous gibberellic acid. In the starchy endosperm the seven bands of medium mobility were also present. Calcium-dependent alterations in the electrophoretic mobility and activity of particular bands occurred during the maturation of the starchy endosperm. Treatment of the immature starchy endosperm with papain yielded four forms of beta-amylase.
