Abstract
The distribution of β-glycerophosphatase activity in young roots of Pisum sativum, cultivar Alaska, has been examined by biochemical and histochemical methods. Results obtained by the two approaches are broadly similar, and indicate that high enzyme activity is associated with cells of the root cap, outer layers of the cortex, differentiating xylem elements and phloem fibres, and cortical cells surrounding emerging lateral roots. The significance of this distribution in relation to a possible function of β-glycerophosphatase is discussed.
