THE INTENSITY OF RESPIRATION AND THE ACTIVITY OF SOME OXIDE - REDUCTASES IN SEEDS OF PASTINACA SATIVA L.TREATED WITH ULTRASOUNDS
Journal Title: Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iasi, Serie noua, Sectiunea II a. Biologie vegetala - Year 2005, Vol 51, Issue 0
Abstract
This paper studies the intensity of respiration and the activity of two oxide – reductase (catalase and polyphenol-oxidase) in seeds of Pastinaca sativa subdued to the action of ultrasounds having the frequency of 22 kHz, the electric power of 20; 55 and 106.25 V.A. at periods of 30 and 60 seconds.The ultrasonic radiation stimulates the process of respiration and the activity of the two enzymes studied.
