Effect of Squaric Acid and Isoascorbate on Glyoxalase-I Cell Division and DNA Synthesis in Datura Callus

  • Chapter
Plant Cell Culture in Crop Improvement

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 22))

Abstract

The presence of the enzyme glyoxalase was reported by Neuberg (1) and Dakin and Dudley in 1913 (2). Since then, it has been isolated from many animal systems and from yeast. However, except for one casual report, its existence has not been reported in higher plants.
