Exoamylase Activity in Vacuoles Isolated from Pea and Wheat Leaf Protoplasts 1

Paul Ziegler 1, Erwin Beck 1
PMCID: PMC1056268  PMID: 16665144

Abstract

Vacuoles isolated from pea (Pisum sativum), and wheat (Triticum aestivum) leaf protoplasts contained considerable activities of electrophoretically highly mobile exoamylases. Vacuoles from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaf and photoautotrophic Chenopodium rubrum suspension culture cell protoplasts were devoid of amylolytic activity. Endoamylase activity was in all cases associated primarily with the chloroplast.
