Abstract

AbstractSeveral anodic isoperoxidases were found in embryonic tissues of cultured wild carrot, Daucus carota L., which were not present in the proembryo masses from which they originate. This difference is further reflected in the higher specific activity of peroxidase in embryo extracts as compared to proembryonic tissues. The absence of anodic isoperoxidases and depressed peroxidase activity in carrot tissue cultures in the presence of 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4‐D) suggests a regulatory role for this plant growth regulator in controlling peroxidase activity.
