Histochemical Localization OF Acid Phosphatase IN Germinating Maize Kernels

Abstract
Sections of germinating maize kernels obtained by freezing technic were examined for acid phosphatase according to the histochemical method of Gomori. The embryonic axis, scutellum and aleurone layer were found positive for the enzyme. A microtechnical method for preformed phosphate, based on Sumner''s colorimetric method for phosphorus, is descr.
