CONTROL OF INVERTASE ACTIVITY BY AN INHIBITOR IN AGING PETALS. |
| Authors: | J. Halaba, R.M. Rudnicki |
| Abstract:
Crude extracts containing an invertase inhibitor prepared from wilting petals of alstroemeria, dahlia, gladiolus, petunia and rose flowers reduced invertase activity while incubated together with a crude extract of invertase from fresh petals of the same species. Inhibition of the invertase activities was about 20 to 30% whicht indicates that the invertase activity during senescence of flower petals is controlled by the synthesis of an inhibitor. | |
