Metabolic Studies on Intermediates in the myo-Inositol Oxidation Pathway in Lilium longiflorum Pollen

Abstract
On the basis of solubility, hydrolysis by glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3), and monomeric composition, starch appears to be the major glucose-containing, hot water-soluble polysaccharide that is labeled when germinated lily (Lilium longiflorum Thunb., cv. Ace) pollen is grown in the presence of myo-[2-3H]inositol, d-[R5,S5-3H]xylose, or l-[1-14C]arabinose.
