The participation of various isoenzymes of α amylase in the formation of falling number values of the commodity grain of wheat grown in the Republic of Kazakhstan was investigated. It was found that active isoenzymes α AMY1 and α AMY2 of the embryonic shield were present in the grain with an index over 200. A significant decrease in the falling number depended mainly on the synthesis of α AMY1 and α AMY2 isoenzymes in the aleurone layer. In the grain, isoenzymes with high isoelectric points (p1 ≥ 7.3) were found these isoenzymes belong to α amylase or late maturing or α amylase of practically mature grains. It was dis covered that the exogenous hormone (gibberellic acid) induced synthesis of α amylase isoenzymes of scutel lum, whole caryopses, and aleurone. It was shown that the impact of exogenous gibberellic acid on the activity and structure of α amylase is reduced in grain with a low falling number.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
