Abstract
Inhibitor C, one of the inhibitory fractions from the extract of carob fruit, reduces the amount of [alpha]-amylase in the culture medium of endosperm halves of barley seed treated with gibberellic acid. The reduction is greater with increasing amounts of inhibitor. A similar reduction is found in the [alpha]-amylase produced by embryo halves of barley seed which were not treated with gibberellic acid. The inhibitor has no effect on the activity of [alpha]-amylase itself.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
