Abstract
Enzymes dissociated from corn (hybrid B73 × Mo17) seedling cell walls by solutions of high ionic strength possess the capacity to degrade Avena caryopsis glucan. Inhibitor studies disclosed that both endo- and exoenzyme activities were involved and that the reaction sequence paralleled the autolytic solubilization of β-d-glucan in isolated cell walls.Keywords
