A. Moulin et R. Giordani, STIMULATION OF LIPASE AND N-ACETYL-BETA-D-GLUCOSAMINIDASE ACTIVITIES IN EUPHORBIA-CHARACIAS LATEX BY CONTACT OF FREE FATTY-ACIDS WITH ROOTS, Phytochemistry, 39(5), 1995, pp. 985-987
A transitory increase in the basal levels of lipase and N-acetyl-beta-
D-glucosaminidase activity was observed in the latex of Euphorbia char
acias plants with their roots in contact with the free fatty acids, bu
tyric, 3-butenoic and caprylic. Incorporation of [C-14-1] -butyric aci
d into latex was also demonstrated.
