Abstract
Changes in the activity and localization of nonspecific esterase, acid phosphatase, α-galactosidase and β-glucosidase inL. regale pistils after pollination with μ-irradiated pollen were studied. In the embryo sac and in the ovule reduction of AS-esterase and α-galactosidase and, at the same time, enhancement of α-esterase, acid phosphatase and β-glucosidase activities were observed. The changes in hydrolytic enzyme activities are discussed as manifestations of lethal factors resulting from structural disturbances of DNA in the generative nucleus and in sperms caused by irradiation.
