Popis: The activities of catalase, peroxidase, indoleacetic acid (IAA) oxidase and peroxide levels in cucumber plants during and after chilling were determined. During 96 hours at 5 C and 85% relative humidity, catalase activity declined, IAA oxidase activity increased, and peroxide concentrations increased. Peroxidase activity was not affected by chilling. When chilled plants were returned to 25 C to recover, enzyme activities and peroxide concentration were restored to their prechilling levels. The increase in peroxide and IAA oxidase activity may inactivate or destroy IAA and thus retard growth.
