چکیده

Plant growth retardants Alar (dimethylhydrazide of succinic acid) and its structural analogue MEIA (β-monomethyl ester of itaconic acid) at a concentration 2000mg/l sprayed at the fourth true leaf stage of tobacco seedlings caused identical retardation in stem growth from the second till the tenth day after treatment. Soluble peroxidase activity in stems of the treated plants increased on the second day after treatment and remained the same until the end of the investigated period. IAA-oxidase activity also increased on the second day after treatment, but later dropped slowly and reached the control level. Alar and MEIA did not influence peroxidase and IAA-oxidase activity in vitro. From the second day till the end of the investigated period an increase in total phenols and in the level of chlorogenic acid in the stems of the treated plants was also observed. The increase of IAAoxidase activity post treatment with growth retardants Alar and MEIA probably took part in the regulation of stem growth of tobacco seedlings. The regulation of enzyme activity might not be direct and could be due to the participation of phenol compounds.

In recent years, many research studies have been conducted on the effects of magnetic field on plants. But certain mechanisms regarding magnetic influences have not been defined yet. In this study, effects of magnetic fields (MF) on the growth parameters and enzyme activities of Helianthus annuus L. were investigated. Sterilized seeds in sterile conditions were exposed to 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mT o...

Peroxide Levels and the Activities of Catalase, Peroxidase, and Indoleacetic Acid Oxidase during and after Chilling Cucumber Seedlings.

The activities of catalase, peroxidase, indoleacetic acid (IAA) oxidase and peroxide levels in cucumber plants during and after chilling were determined. During 96 hours at 5 C and 85% relative humidity, catalase activity declined, IAA oxidase activity increased, and peroxide concentrations increased. Peroxidase activity was not affected by chilling. When chilled plants were returned to 25 C to...
