Aim and Background:Peroxidases functions in plants range from cell wall modulations to hormone regulation, defense mechanisms, indoleacetic acid degradation and stress adaptations. During diverse stress conditions, peroxidases protect plant against the intrinsic and environmental disturbances.
Materials and Methods:In this study, the plant corms were prepared in July. Corms were used as the source of the enzyme extraction and this extract was used for further study.
Results: The results were shown for the dormant and waking corms increasing concentrations of guaiacol above the 70 Mm decreased the peroxidase activity.
Conclusion: With respect to the kinetics results, it seems that at least two isoforms of the peroxidases exist in saffron corms and so each isoform could take part in some different processes in saffron growth and development.
