| Abstract | We examined 𰂱-amylase(EC 3.2.1.1) activity in endosperm in 6 varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.), which showed different seedling establishment traits in field experiments, using seedlings grown in sterilized agar-bed at 16ºC. At the coleoptile elongation stage and the first leaf elongation stage, there were significant differences in 𰂱-amylase activity among the varieties investigated. However, the varietal difference in 𰂱-amylase activity at the coleoptile elongation stage did not correspond with that in coleoptile growth. Maltose, the immediate product of 𰂱 -amylase activity, accumulated in the endosperm at the coleoptile elongation stage in a greater amount in Fukuhibiki, which has a poor seedling establishment trait, than in Arroz da Terra, which has a superior seedling establishment trait. The concentration of glucose detected in the exudate from the endosperm adjacent to the scutellum at the coleoptile elongation stage was also higher in Fukuhibiki than in Arroz da Terra. The results obtained in sterileagar-bed conditions clearly demonstrated that neither deficiency in 𰂱-amylase activity nor glucose production in the endosperm were responsible for coleoptile growth retardation at 16ºC. Therefore, neither 𰂱-amylase activity nor sugar supply from the endosperm were responsible for the varietal differences seen in the rate of seedling establishment in paddy fields at around 16ºC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
