Abstract | ||||
The variation of sugar metabolism and related enzymes of peanut seedlings and cultured tissues by ultrasonic waves were carried out in this work. It was found that reducing sugars and sucrose contents of peanut seedlings are more sensitive to ultrasonication than polysaccharides and total carbohydrate contents. The reduction decrease in direct reducing sugars, sucrose and total carbohydrate contents were proportional with increasing time of exposure. The present data obtained showed that amylase activity of peanut seedlings and cultured cells were increased with ultrasonication, while invertase activity decreased. | ||||
