Abstract

Carboxylic ester hydrolase preparations were obtained from wheat seeds ( Triticum aestivum L. “Anderson”) and from acetone powders of 5- to 7-day-old cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L. “Stono”), soybean ( Glycine max L. Merr. “Lee”), and corn ( Zea mays L. “GT 112 × CI. 21”) seedlings. Evidence obtained from electrophoretic mobilities, substrate specificities, and inhibitor studies indicated that the four species of plants contained complex systems of ester hydrolases. Ester hydrolases were partially and tentatively identified with criteria established for animal serum enzymes.
