Relationship of Endo-[beta]-D-Mannanase Activity and Cell Wall Hydrolysis in Tomato Endosperm to Germination Rates.

The endosperm tissue enclosing the radicle tip (endosperm cap) governs radicle emergence in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seeds. Weakening of the endosperm cap has been attributed to hydrolysis of its mannan-rich cell walls by endo-[beta]-D-mannanase. To test this hypothesis, we measured ma...
