Abstract
The distribution df phosphorylase, phosphatase, and β-amylase in fruits, vegetables (except root vegetables), and some leaves was examined. Fruits contained little or no enzyme activities. But chestnut and gingko, which contained large amounts of strch were rich in phosphorylase activities. Almost all vegetables and leaves, except onion, showed more or less phosphorylase activities and little or no β-amylase activities, which suggested that phosphorylase might take part in the formation of assimilation starch as well as reserve starch in plants.
