Activities of galactinol synthase, raffinose synthase, and stachyose synthase in yellowing seeds of three soybean lines
| Line | Galactinol Synthase | Raffinose Synthase | Stachyose Synthase |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1923 | 7.5 ± 4.1 | 0.10 ± 0.05 | 0.65 ± 0.18 |
| LR28 | 16.5 ± 5.2 | 0.004 ± 0.007 | 0.81 ± 0.24 |
| LR33xLR28 | 22.6 ± 8.8 | 0.006 ± 0.008 | 0.87 ± 0.21 |
The wild-type control is line A1923. Enzyme activities are expressed as μmol of product produced per gram fresh wt per hour under the assay conditions. Values are mean ± sd for five replicates.
