Abstract
Utilizing starch-gel electrophoresis, 12 discrete peroxidases were identified in purified extracts of the dwarf tomato shoot (Lycopersicon esculentum). Nine of the peroxidases moved toward the anode while 3 moved toward the cathode. In addition, a continuous peroxidase smear was separated from the above 12 peroxidases. This smear moved toward the anode and accounted for 50% of the total peroxidase activity in the crude extract.
