Starch synthase activity of pericarp and endosperm tissues
| Sample | GBSS | Soluble SS |
|---|---|---|
| nmol min−1 mg−1 | ||
| Pericarp | ||
| Waxy | 0.324 ± 0.045 | 1.22 ± 0.54 |
| CS (nonwaxy) | 0.327 ± 0.009 | 1.11 ± 0.45 |
| Endosperm | ||
| Waxy | 0.026 ± 0.004 | |
| CS (nonwaxy) | 0.208 ± 0.036 | |
Values represent the means ± se of three replications, and are based on milligrams of starch granules for the granule-bound activity and on milligrams of fresh tissue weight for soluble activity.
