Abstract
Using diaminobenzidine as substrate, peroxidase activity was localized in the walls of parenchyma cells and differentiating fibres. In mature fibres and parenchyma a slight activity could be recognized in primary walls only. In parenchyma cells, peroxidase activity was fairly inhibited with heat, potassium cyanide, and aminotriazole, which could indicate the presence of catalase within the cell walls. However, in plasmodesmatal regions peroxidases were- resistant to the above inhibitors. Syringaldazine oxidase activity was present only in the primary wall and the outer part of the secondary wall of differentiating fibres. The parallelism between lignification and peroxidase activity in the secondary walls supports the hypothesis of the involvement of these enzymes in the lignification process.
