Abstract
Spectrophotometry and gas chromatography were used to measure the ATP content and the respiration rates of the normal and the makapuno (mutant) coconut endosperms at different stages of development. Results showed a slightly higher ATP content in the makapuno endosperm ( 0.056 - 0.137 /Amol ATP/c, ) compared with the normal 0.036 - 0.113 A umol ATP/ ). For both types of endosperms, statistically significant differences in mean ATP content among the three obstacles of development we in e observed. Stacie I ( umo old ) endosperm had the highest ATP content ( 0.113 umol ATP/g for the normal endosperm and 0.137 umol ATP. for the makapuno endosperm, which was two- to three-fold higher ( 60- 70% higher ) than the values obtained for the more mature stages.
