The structural organization of the cell walls at the aleurone-sub-aleurone junction has been examined by fluorescence microscopy in ungerminated seeds of two varieties of Hordeum vulgare L. (cultivars Himalaya and Vanier). The sub-aleurone cell walls that are immediately adjacent to the aleurone layer are considerably thicker than the remainder of endosperm walls and contain extensive deposits of aniline blue-positive material. The latter was not significantly affected by periodate oxidation and was removed from tissue sections only by β-1,3-glucanases or hot dimethyl sulphoxide. These deposits may represent the primary substrate for endo-β-1,3-glucanases secreted by the aleurone layer during germination.

Removal of ferulic acid from barley aleurone cell walls is closely correlated with wall hydrolysis. The ferulic acid content of isolated aleurone layers (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) falls progressively during incubation with gibberellic acid (GA3), to about one-third of the original content, by 72 h. At the same time an equivalent amount accumulates in the incubation medium, not as the free acid but still esterified to other components. The data show that there is no modification of the feruloyl group, or hydrolysis of the ester linkage prior to removal from the tissue, and therefore the GA3-induced aleurone peroxidases and esterases are not directly involved.

The synthesis of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) aleurone xylanase was found to be dependent on both gibberellic acid (GA3) and Ca2+, but inhibited by cycloheximide and cordycepin. Studies using density labeling of barley aleurone layers showed that xylanase was synthetized de novo in response to GA3 and Ca2+. Neither GA3 nor Ca2+ alone induced a large increase in xylanase activity. The concentration of Ca2+ required for maximum xylanase induction was 5 – 40 mM. Xylanase activity was found to develop simultaneously with that of α-amylase in the incubation medium during the first 24 h of incubation with GA3. A critical point with respect to the role of xylanase is the extent of its activity by the time of the initial release of α-amylase. The release of α-amylase into the medium was detectable at 6 h. From 2 to 6% of the cell wall was hydrolysed by xylanase after incubation for 6 h, which was probably sufficient to permit the release of α-amylase. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the purified barley aleurone xylanase hydrolysed the cell walls of barley aleurone layers in the absence of GA3. It is likely that xylanase plays an important role in the release of enzymes from aleurone cells.
