Riassunto

Si è dimostrata la presenza del ciclo del gliossilato durante la germinazione di semi diGinkgo biloba. Isocitrico liasi e malato sintasi, e due enzimi chiave del ciclo, sono stati messi in evidenza in pianticelle di 8 cm. Le attività dei due enzimi sono invece assenti nel seme dove elevato è il contenuto in lipidi. Tra gli acidi grassi i più rappresentati sono l'oleico e il linoleico.
