Changes of specific activity of lipase and lipoxygenase during germination of wheat and barley

Abstract

Changes of lipase and lipoxygenase specific activities were monitored during wheat and barley germination. Statistically significant correlation (r2 = 0.8148, P < or = 0.02) was found between the specific activities of lipase and lipoxygenase during wheat germination, whereas such correlation did not occur during barley germination.
