[Isoesterase assay over the course of dormancy relieving with low temperature in the seed of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. by electrophoresis].

In order to study the physiological basis of dormancy relieving with low temperature in the seed of Frit-illaria thunbergii isoesterase patterns were assaved by means of electrophoresis over the courses of dormancy relieving at 8-10 degrees C and 3-5 degrees C. The changes of isoesterase patterns are similar at the two different temperatures. Over the courses of dormancy relieving, some new bands are detected and some original bands are enhanced. These results show that the physiological basis may be similar over the courses of dormancy relieving at 8-10 degrees C and 3-5 degrees C.
