Abstract

Summary Enolase activity was used to demonstrate the occurrence of both plastid and cytosolic glycolysisin the developing storage organs of several oil-rich seeds. Plastids isolated from these tissues and purified by rate-zonal sedimentation on discontinuous sucrose gradients contained substantial amounts of enolase activity. The enolase activity associated with isolated plastids could be separated from that found in the cytosol by ion-filtration and ion exchange chromatography and could be attributed to - a distinct isozyme. Hence, plastid glycolysis in developing oilseeds appears to be universal.
