Abstract: | The IAA oxidase activity was studied during the culture of dormant apple embryos. The effect of different factors on this enzyme activity was investigated either by adding them to the reaction mixture or to the culture medium. Phloridzin was found to be the best phenolic cofactor. The development of IAA oxidase activity was stimulated by phloridzin and GA3. The properties of apple embryos IAA oxidase allow to postulate the presence of two enzyme systems able to oxidize IAA in the material studied. The involvement of peroxidase activity in IAA oxidation was also investigated. The differences in the changes of peroxidase and IAA oxidase activities during the culture of dormant apple embryos do not permit to consider the activity of peroxidases to be identical with that of IAA oxidase. |
