Abstract
The production of protease by isolated aleurone layers of barley in response to gibberellic acid has been examined. The protease arises in the aleurone layer and is mostly released from the aleurone cells. The courses of release of amylase and protease from aleurone layers, the dose reponses to gibberellic acid and the effects of inhibitors on the production of both enzymes are parallel. As is the case for amylase, protease is made de novo in response to the hormone. These data give some credence to the hypothesis that the effect of gibberellic acid is to promote the simultaneous synthesis and secretion of a group of hydrolases.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
