Abstract
Amylase activity of groundnut with reference to gamma radiation in the range of 10 to 120 Kr units and the period of germination has been discussed. Dry seeds contain little amylase activity. Amylase activity is found to increase with period of germination and after reaching a maximum value it once again decreases. Radiation has inhibitory effect on the activity. Amylase activity is newly formed during sprouting of seeds. Ascorbic acid produced during germination of these seeds also inhibits the amylase activity.
