The five mycobacteria Mycobacterium lepraemurium, M. leprae, M. bovis BCG, M. smegmatis, and M. intracellulare were studied. Catalase and peroxidase activities were demonstrated in polyacrylamide and crossed immunoelectrophoresis gels for M. lepraemurium, M. intracellulare, and BCG, but not for M. leprae. Peroxidase and catalase activities were associated with the same precipitate line in cross...

sulforaphane (sfn) is an isothiocyanate which is produced through glucoraphanin hydrolysis via myrosinase activity. in the present study, sfn content and peroxidase activity has been assessed in treated lepidium draba seedlings with different concentrations of iron and copper during 8 and 16 hours treatment. the results showed that the sfn content drastically elevated at treatment with 1 mg/l f...

the influence of water deprivation on potted grape (vitis vinifera l.) was investigated. leaf mass area (lma) and biochemical responses, including chlorophyll, total protein, peroxidase activity, soluble carbohydrates, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were assessed in leaves of ‘sahani’ and ‘bidane sefid’ grape cultivars subjected to progressive drought (soil water potentials of: -0.2, -...

abstract: salicylic acid is a phytohormone with phenolic nature which has been proved its role in increasing plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress in several studies. this study was performed in order to investigation of interaction between 0, 0.5 and 1.5 mm concentrations of salicylic acid, as a seed pretreatment and different levels of drought stress (100, 75, 50 and 25 percent of fie...

In dark grown pea (Pisum sativum) seedlings ethylene causes the triple response in which elongation growth is inhibited, radial growth is promoted, and orientation of shoots to gravity is altered. The distribution of extensin and peroxidase activity in pea epicotyls upon ethylene treatment was studied by tissue printing on nitrocellulose paper. It was found that the localization of extensin and...
