Abstract
IT is known that ionizing radiations cause an increase in peroxidase activity1–3, but it has not yet been explained how they do this. Although multiple forms of peroxidase have been shown in plants4–6, no effect of radiations on these forms has yet been described. This communication reports the appearance, in the zymograms of barley leaves which develop from irradiated seeds, of new peroxidase bands with respect to the control.
