Abstract
The specific activities of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.-) and cell wall-bound peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.-) were enhanced in roots of Hevea b rasiliensis 2 weeks after inoculation with Glomus mosseae, simultaneously w ith an increased lignin content. However, no scopoletin accumulation was ob served by this time. These defence-like reactions were caused by the first penetration of the AM fungus but they were transient.
