Differential Expression of Peroxidase Isoenzymes in Soybean Roots Treated with the Benzothiadiazole

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: The protection compound benzo-(1,2,3)-thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (BTH) was applied to soybean roots or leaves in a dose of 20 cm3 of a solution containing 25 μg g-1 of the active ingredient. Electrophoretic profiles of chitinase and superoxide dismutase were not altered by the product. Increased activity of two root anionic peroxidases and three differential isoforms of these enzymes were observed in plants with roots treated by BTH, which can be used as biochemical markers of the BTH effect.
