Abstract
Polyamines (PAs) and their major metabolic enzymes were studied under different modes of salinity stress in Brassica. Long stress caused onl y small changes in PA level, arginine (EC 4.1.1.19) and ornithine deca rboxylases (EC 4.1.1.17) and polyamine oxidase (EC 1.5.3.3) activity. However, short stress increased PA level and enzyme activities. Diamin e oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6) activity, unlike other PA metabolic enzymes, in creased significantly during long stress.
