Light irradiation affected obviously the morphogenesis and the ribbonuclease activity of growing rice seedlings. Increase of enzyme activity with aging of light-grown seedlings, while only a small amount activity increased of dark grown seedlings were observed. Enhencement of enzyme activity by the supplement of mineral nutrition were show in both light and dark grown seedlings, unexpectively the enzyme activity was raised to over two-fold in light-grown seedlings. At least seven isozymes could be clearly analyzed by native gel electrophoresis. Activity of B group isozymes were totally unaffected by the treatment of both light and mineral nutrition, thus these B group isozymes appears to be the constitutive enzyme of the seedling. Activity of A1, A4 and C isozymes were induced sensitively either by light or mineral nutrition. Since A2 and A3 isozymes showed only in the dark-grown seedlings, it indicates that the expression of these two isozymes was completely inhibited by light.
