Abstract

Abstract Accumulation of starch, protein and other components in the grains of rice plant during the ripening process is one of the prominent features characterizing the change to the reproductive grOwth from the vegetative growth. Despite the fact that it has been assumed that in these processes nucleotides play a role, especially in the energy transformation and as a co-factor of enzymic action, no survey on the nucleotides in the ripening rice grains was performed. But several studies are found on the other phosphorus containing compounds. Fractionation of phosphorus compounds in the ripening rice grains was studied by Aimi and Konno 1), and ASADA and Kasai 2). Kurasawa et al 3) identified glucose-1-phosphate from the ripening rice grains.
