Abstract
Acid phospahatases are the class of enzymes that are ubiquitously found throughout the plant and animal kingdom. Plant acid phosphatases play a crucial role in all tissues of the plant. They are activated at low pH and help in procuring inorganic phosphate from organic sources. Role of acid phosphatases in optimal seed germination enables better regeneration efficacy and plant development. Various parameters like pH and temperature maximize the activation of acid phosphatases in germinating seeds thereby culminating in optimal time and development of seedlings. In the current study, we aim to characterize the effect of different pH and temperature conditions on acid phosphatases isolated from three commercially important crops. This study would help in understanding the ideal conditions that would optimize seed germination
