Abstract
The energy of activation of invertase in crude juice and in preparations purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation from winter wheat, Kharkov 22 MC, leaves grown at 6 °C, is lower than that in preparations from similar leaves grown at 20 °C. When Rescue wheat leaves are used the same value for the energy of activation of invertase is obtained whether plants are grown at 6 °C or 20 °C. In this respect Thatcher wheat appears to be intermediate between Kharkov 22 MC and Rescue. Some implications of these observations in relation to cold hardening are discussed.This publication has 50 references indexed in Scilit:
