PHENOLIC BIOSYNTHESIS IN RELATION TO MOISTURE STRESS IN MARIGOLD (TAGETES ERECTA L) |
| Authors: | Shyam S. Kurup, U.G. Nalwadi, P.W. Basarkar |
| Abstract:
Induction of moisture stress for a period of twelve days at transplanting and pre-blooming stages in marigold exhibited a sharp peak in specific activity of peroxidase. The specific activity of the enzyme exhibited a sharp peak with the increased magnitude of moisture stress. This led to enhanced phenolic biosynthesis and formation of lignin. | |
