This work provides further evidence that plants contain appreciable amounts of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), and that breakdown of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PPRibP) does not contribute significantly to the PPi detected in plant extracts. Inorganic pyrophosphate in extracts of the roots of Pisum sativum L., clubs of the spadices of Arum maculatum L., and the developing endosperm of Zea mays L. was assayed with pyrophosphate fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.90), and with sulphate adenyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.4). The two different assays gave the same value for PPi content, and for recovery of added PPi. It was shown that PPRibP is converted to PPi during the extraction of PPi. However, the amounts of PPRibP in clubs of A. maculatum and the developing endosperm of Z. mays were negligible in comparison with the contents of PPi.
