Peroxidase, catalase, amine oxidase and acid phosphatase activities in Pisum sativum during infection with Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani

Abstract

Two genotypes (cv. Smaragd and line DP1059) of Pisum sativum with different susceptibility to Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani and influence of pathogenesis on enzyme activities were studied. The increase of activity of studied enzymes was mostly observed in both roots and shoots during pathogenesis. Only activity of acid phosphatase decreased in the root and increased in shoots. The correlation between enzyme activity change and susceptibility of pea cultivars to F. oxysporum or F. solani was observed.
