RESUMO
In cotyledons of germinating cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. var. Stoneville 213) seedlings, in the dark, isocitric lyase (EC 4.1.3.1) activity peaks after 2 days and thereafter slowly declines to a negligible value after 8 days. The maximum activity of this enzyme in cotyledons of 2-day-old seedlings was 16.2 μmoles of glyoxylate formed/15 min·10 cotyledon pairs. Actinomycin D at a concentration of 10 μg/ml, if added to the imbibing solution, completely prevents the development of isocitric lyase activity in these germinating seed. In cotyledons of germinating cotton seedlings, in the light, isocitric lyase activity peaks after 2 to 3 days and sharply declines to a negligible value after 4 days. The maximum activity of this enzyme in cotyledons of 2- to 3-day-old seedlings was 13.2 μmoles of glyoxylate formed/15 min·10 cotyledon pairs. Actinomycin D at a concentration of 10 μg/ml, if added to the imbibing solution, severely inhibits the development of enzyme activity.
