This experiment was to examine the metabolism of reserve substances and the activity of hydrolytic enzymes during seed germination of Chinese jujube (Zizyphus jujuba miller). There was a drastic decrease in globulin and glutelin within 12 hours after seeding with gradual decrease in albumin and prolamin after 24 hours. RNA contents were maintained at a constant level throughout germinating stages. The optimal activities were measured at pH 7, 8, 3, 5, 5, 3, and 6 in alpha-amylase, beta-amylase, invertase, cellulase, phosphates, protease and RNase, respectively
