The metabolism of myo-inositol-2-(14)C, d-glucuronate-1-(14)C, d-glucuronate-6-(14)C, and l-methionine-methyl-(14)C to cell wall polysaccharides was investigated in excised root-tips of 3 day old Zea mays seedlings. From myo-inositol, about one-half of incorporated label was recovered in ethanol
A procedure was developed for the enzymic isolation of large quantities of protoplasts from the cortex of Zea mays L. WF9 x MO 17 roots. Cortex was separated from the primary root, sectioned, and the cell walls digested for 3.5 hours in 2% (w/v) Cellulysin, 0.1% Pectolyase Y-23, 1 millimolar
Bundle sheath strands were isolated from maize (Zea mays L.) leaves treated with preparations of cellulase, hemicellulase, and pectinase. A three-phase discontinuous gradient yielded two fractions of envelope membranes from bundle sheath chloroplasts. Buoyant densities were 1.06 and 1.09 g cm(-3).
