| Abstract: | The enzyme activity responsible for volatile C6-aldehyde formation was accompanied by lipoxygenase and hydroperoxide lyase in the green leaves of 28 plant species tested, but the level of each enzyme's activity varied. Lipoxygenase activity rather than hydroperoxide lyase activity appears to affect the overall C6-aldehyde formation. There was a positive correlation (r = 0.712) between hydroperoxide lyase activity and the chlorophyll content of the green leaves; no correlation was found between lipoxygenase activity and chlorophyll content. |
