Cytochemical localization of peroxidase activity in early developmental stages of the moss Ceratodon purpureus. Light-microscopic observations

Peroxidase activity was localized in the cell walls and minute cytoplasm granules of swollen and germinating spores and in the several-celled protonema of the moss Ceratodon purpureus kept in darkness. Kinetin in a concentration of 100 μM inhibited the protonema development and also depressed the ac...

Description
Summary:Peroxidase activity was localized in the cell walls and minute cytoplasm granules of swollen and germinating spores and in the several-celled protonema of the moss Ceratodon purpureus kept in darkness. Kinetin in a concentration of 100 μM inhibited the protonema development and also depressed the activity of this enzyme.
