Unlike most of the hydrolytic enzymes that participate in endosperm mobilization, β-glucosidase of barley ( Hordeum vulgare) seeds does not increase during germination, even in the presence of exogenously added gibberellic acid. However, the germination process affects the physical properties of β-g...
