Abstract
Electrophoretic patterns of soluble proteins, peroxidase, esterase, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and glutamic dehydrogenase (GDR) from embryos and endosperm of normal and opaque-2 maize were studied after different periods of imbibition. The soluble protein pattern from endosperm of normal and opaque-2 differed both qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The embryo protein patterns were identical. Multiple forms (isoenzymes) were found for all the enzymes studied. The enzyme patterns changed during imbibition. Peroxidase and GDH patterns from embryos of normal and opaque-2 showed considerable differences during imbibition. Esterase and ADH pattern from embryo and endosperm of normal and opaque-2 showed few differences.
