Abstract
Cyclic AMP and GA3 stimulated both α-amylase activity in rice endosperm and the germination of the seed. In combination they also induced germination of ABA-treated seeds but cyclic AMP alone failed to neutralize the inhibitory effect of ABA; with added kinetin, however, it promoted the α-amylase activity of the dormant seeds. The enzyme activity decreased as the storage period of seeds increased. Cyclic AMP and GAKeywords
