Abstract
Trypsin inhibitor activities of dormant kernels were determined in 22 strains of wild barley originating in Southwest Asia and raised in Finland. All of the strains showed trypsin inhibitor activity. The inhibitor levels in the endosperms varied much more than those in the embryos. On a dry weight basis, the wild barley endosperms had, on average, 70% (ranging from 8 to 137%) of the inhibitor activity of the control (cv Pirkka). The embryonic inhibitor activities were comparable to those of cv. Pirkka. The inhibitor activities in endosperms and embryos varied independently of each other, and did not significantly correlate with the contents of water-soluble proteins.
