Seeds develops into fruits and the ripening stage has many enzymes aiding the process. The hard, green,sour , mealy fruits ripen by the action of enzymes such as pectinases, amylases and ethylene oxide. The role of amylase is to convert the starch ( which imaparts a mealyness to unripe fruits) to glucose and hence impart sweetness.

What is the biochemical function of amylase enzyme in plants?
No. Amylase is produced in the body by the salivary glands and the intestines to take part in the digestive process. That answer is incorrect! Amylase is indeed a digestive enzyme for animals, but it is also present in plants. Though mainly found in cereal seeds like wheat, amylase is found throughout the plant kingdom. It is most usually present in germinating seeds, and is used to break the polysaccharide starch in the endosperm/ haustorium into more usable, smaller sugar chains like maltose.
