Popis:	During the pathogenesis of pearl millet by the downy mildew (Sclerospora graminicola [Sacc.] Schroet.), the activities of peroxidase (PO) and indoleacetic acid oxidase (IAAO) and their isozyme pattern determined by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels, were observed in extracts of leaves and ears at different stages of development. The PO activity in extracts from infected plants of a susceptible cultivar was found to be higher than in healthy plants. The higher activity was most probably due to the acceleration of host senescence by the pathogen. Quantitative differences in the isozyme patterns of PO and IAAO were found. In inoculated plants of the resistant cultivar, no symptoms developed under the conditions used for infection of the susceptible cultivar and the changes in enzyme activities after inoculation were not significant. The results indicated that different proteins are synthesized in the two cultivars.
