Abstract
The development of glyoxysomes during germination has been studied in isolated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cotyledons and in maize (Zea mays L.) scutella. In peanut cotyledons isocitratase, malate synthetase, and protein associated with the glyoxysomal fraction increase simultaneously from the 3rd to the 8th day of incubation. In scutella of germinating maize seeds the specific activities of isocitratase, malate synthetase, and catalase associated with the glyoxysomes rise until the 4th day of germination and then decline while the total amount of protein present in the fraction stays constant during the first 5 days. If the peanut cotyledons are cultured in 2% glucose, the development of isocitratase and malate synthetase is severely inhibited, but the level of the glyoxysomal protein is not measurably affected.
