We previously showed that two major cysteine endopeptidases, REP-1 and REP-2, were present in germinated rice ( Oryza sativa L.) seeds, and that REP-1 was the enzyme that digests seed storage proteins.

In cereals cysteine endopeptidases and serine carboxypeptidases play essential role in hydrolysis of storage proteins.
The rate of the hydrolysis depends on the presence of biologically active gibberellins in the grain tissues.
