maltotriose/oryza

Pullulanase (EC 3.2.1.41) in non-germinating seeds was compared with that in germinating seeds. Moreover, pullulanase from the endosperm of rice (Oryza sativa L., cv. Hinohikari) seeds was isolated and its properties investigated. The pI value of pullulanase from seeds after 8 days of germination

Changes in the content of starch, protein, and RNA and in the activity of their hydrolases in the rice endosperm (Oryza sativa L., variety IR8) were determined during the first week of germination without added nutrient both in the dark and in the light. Changes were generally more rapid in the dark
