Previous studies from these' and other laboratories2' have shown that barley endosperm walls are composed of a mixture of polysaccharides. The major component (-70%) is a mixed-linkage /3-D-glucan containing (l-3) and (1+4) linkages in the ratio of 3 to 7. The next largest component (-25%) is a pent

Abstract
A procedure for the efficient and rapid isolation of 100βg quantities of immature endosperm has been developed using a roller device. The material produced has been used successfully for the isolation of messenger ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid.

Structural diΓΎ erences in barley grains have been classiΓΌed as either mealy or steely and their relative proportions have been determined using a light transΓ½ectance method in three barley samples varying in the degree of steeliness, Target being the most steely and Chariot most mealy with Blenheim
It has been shown that the scuttellum of germinating barley embryos synthesises gibberellin in intact grains or when detached from the endosperm, but not when attached to the endosperm if the axis is removed. Evidence is given to support the hypothesis that the inhibition of gibberellin synthesis is
