title: [Diastase and reducing sugar in Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. during the process of dormancy relieving with low temperature].
abstract: The changes of diastase's activity and reducing sugar's content in Fritillaria thunbergii were studied during the process of relieving dormancy with low temperature. The results showed that the metabolism in bud and scale was changed, the diastase's activity and reducing sugar's content of the adaxial epiderm were higher than those of the inner store tissue in the scale, but were approximate to those of the bud.
