Abstract
A polymorphism in rice amylases at an early stage of seed germination is an alyzed by zymogram, In nonglutinous cultivars of rite, alpha -amylase isozy mes are mainly confirmed in germinating seeds. However, in glutinous cultiv ars, beta -amylase isozymes, which are not confirmed in nonglutinous cultiv ars, make up the major part of the total amylase activity and the expressio n of alpha -amylases are repressed.
