In extracts of freshly cut disks (1 × 10 mm) of storage tissue of carrot ( Daucus carota L.) the activities of hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and phosphofructokinase at 30° were 17, 29, 174 and 69 nmoles product formed/min/g fresh wt., respectively.
