Abstract
The properties of two strains of carrot (Daucus carota) callus are presented. One has a very low acid invertase activity which is accompanied by differences in morphology and metabolic rate, but not in growth rate. We conclude that one of the main functions of plant acid invertases is in controlling the levels of sugars which, by interaction with hormones, affect differentiation, both morphological and biochemical. The effect of tris on sucrose metabolizing enzymes, and the cause of the “sucrose effect” are considered.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
