✦ Synopsis

Aleurone layers from immature developing wheat grains (Triticum aestivum L. cvs. Sappo. and Champlein), though normally insensitive, can be made to produce e-amylase in response to gibberellic acid by subjecting the grains to a period of enforced dehydration prior to introduction to the hormone. The change in sensitivity appears to depend upon the water content of the tissue, water levels of below approximately 25% being critical for the effect. Grain detachment or duration of drying apparently do not qualitatively influence the development of sensitivity to gibberellic acid. Enhanced sensitivity resulting from drying is not caused by changes in gibberellic acid uptake. A possible mechanism for the change in sensitivity of aleurone cells might be through structural alterations in cell membranes.

Phosphatidyl choline (PC) is synthesised in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Flanders) aleurone tissue during early germination when new endomembranes are being formed. Although gibberellic acid does not ostensibly affect PC levels, it inhibits the incorporation of choline and differentially and spec

Three series of near-isogenic wheat lines differing in dwarfing alleles, in the varietal backgrounds of 'Maris Huntsman', 'Maris Widgeon' and 'Bersee', and the F2 grain on intravarietal F1 hybrids, produced with a chemical hybridising agent, were examined for grain size and protein content. Individu
