Resumen:
Several apoplastic enzymes have been implicated in the control of elongation growth of plant cells. Among them, peroxidases contribute to both loosening and stiffening of the cell wall. They appear to be regulated by various mechanisms, including the action of extracellular inhibitors. To obtain evidence of the role of the enzyme?inhibitor interaction during leaf development, the intercellular washing fluids from Helianthus annuus leaves of different ages were isolated using standard methods of vacuum infiltration and centrifugation. Peroxidase activities, assessed using tetramethylbenzidine as substrate, increased during leaf development, reaching a maximum value after the leaves were fully expanded.Helianthus annuus leaves of different ages were isolated using standard methods of vacuum infiltration and centrifugation.
