The development of maximal rates of lipid and protein hydrolysis in cucumber cotyledons depends upon the removal of the testa and the presence of the embryonic axis. The testa appears to exert at least part of its inhibitory influence by suppressing the development of enzyme activity associated with
Removal of the embryonic axis from germinated cucumber seeds, either on the second of fourth day after imbibition, subsequently results in reduced rates of lipid and protein degradation and in the accumulation of free sugars and amino acids in the cotyledons. These isolated cotyledons show an inhere
