Table II.

Relationships of ABA content and (SAR) in wheat grains with the activities of the enzymes involved in Suc-to-starch metabolism during the rapid SAR period (9–27 DPA for NN + WD, 12–33 DPA for HN + WD, and 12–39 DPA for NN + WW and HN + WW treatments)

Correlation With	ABA Content	SAR
SuSase	0.94**a	0.93**
Soluble AI	0.45	0.46
Insoluble AI	0.36	0.35
AGPase	0.73**	0.69*
SSS	0.95**	0.92**
GBSS	0.47	0.48
SBE	0.98**	0.97**

Data used for the calculation are from Figures 3 to 6.

^aThe ^* and ^** indicate correlation significance at the P = 0.05 and P = 0.01 levels of probability, respectively.
