In their classic study of the enzymes involved in the mobilization of stored carbohydrate reserves in barley, Brown and Morris (3), in 1890, noted that the excised barley embryo formed a large quantity of starch when floated on water for a few hours. More recently investigators (2, 4, 5) working with excised barley embryos appear to have ignored or neglected this important biochemical transform...
