Abstract: The proteolytic enzyme system in the tissues of sweet potato root was partially purified and its several characteristics were investigated.Based on the results from these preliminary esper{ments, we found that proteolytic activity in the tlssues suffering from black rot declines as penetration of the pathogen proceeds.Procedures to extract the enzyme system from the affected plant tissues were also established.The diminution in activity of the affected tissues was discussed in connection with those results reported hitherto.
