N. Salame et N. Zieslin, PEROXIDASE-ACTIVITY IN LEAVES OF SYNGONIUM-PODOPHYLLUM FOLLOWING TRANSITION FROM IN-VITRO TO EX-VITRO CONDITIONS, Biologia plantarum, 36(4), 1994, pp. 619-622
A low activity of peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.7) was found in crude ext
racts from in vitro plants of Syngonium podophyllum cv. Butterfly seal
ed in the multiplication vessels. Removal of the lids from the vessels
increased the POD activity. A greater increase in the POD activity wa
s measured when in vitro plants were transplanted into a weaning growt
h medium. The POD activity was further promoted by removal of the phen
olic substances from the extracts by polyvinyl-polypyrrolidone (PVPP).
