Differences in peroxidase activity and isoenzymes in embryogenic ane non-embryogenic Shamouti orange ovular callus lines1
Institute of Horticulture, Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center Bet-Dagan, Israel
Peroxidase activity was assayed and isoenzyme pattern was determined by starch gel electrophoresis in ovular calli of the Shamputi orange. Callus from an embryogenic line showed a much higher peroxidase activity than callus from a non-embryogenic line. Within each callus line activity increased with age of stock callus and age of subcultured callus. Peak activity coincided with appearance of embryoids in culture. The isoenzyme pattern revealed one band, C4, typical of embryogenic callus.
