5">Glyoxylate cycle is active in scutellum of germinating barley seeds.
Citrate and malate are abundant in scutellum and endosperm while succinate is not accumulated.
5">Organic acids produced via glyoxylate cycle can participate in acidification of endosperm.
20">Glyoxylate cycle can support amino acid synthesis in cereals during germination.
25">Operation of the glyoxylate cycle leads to the increase in ATP/ADP and H2O2.
