✦ Synopsis

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 lipolysis and proteolysis. There is, however, no evidence to suggest that the presence of the embryonic axis is a pre-requisite for the development of optimal enzyme activity.

Maximum quantum yields (QY) of photosynthetic electron flows through PSI and PSII were separately assessed in thylakoid membranes isolated from leaves of Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber) that had been chilled in various ways. The QY(PSI) in the thylakoids prepared from the leaves treated at 4 ~ C in mo
