Abstract
Peroxidase activity and isoperoxidase electrophoretic patterns are being studied in desert plants as biochemical indicators of physiological stress. Herein we report the peroxidase activity of the mezquite (Prosopis articulata) leaf associated with water tables of different electrical conductivities supporting plant growth and survival. The poor correlation found for about 18 plants growing in the conductivity range of 1000–18,000 µmhos confirms the wide ecotype variation reported for this species, suggesting different plant strategies in response to saline stress.
