| Abstract: | Catalase and glycolate oxidase activity were observed in cultured gametophytes and sporophytes of the fern Todea barbara (L.) Moore. The biochemical characteristics of the glycolate-oxidizing enzyme in both plants indicates it is a glycolate oxidase. The results suggest that these plants are capable of photorespiration by a process similar to that occurring in leaves of higher plants. |
