COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PYRUVIC KINASE AND PHOSPHATASE IN GLYCOPHYTtC AND HALOPHYTIC SPECIES OF BEEr ROOT
Rafiq Ahmad
Abstract:
Effect of sodium ion concentration on potassium dependent pyruvic kinase
reaction was investigated in glycophytic
(Beta vulgaris)
and halophytic
(Beta maritima) plants. It was found that synthesis of pyruvic acid is
mainly through phosphatase in
B. vulgaris.
Where as this was partly undertaken by kinase in
B. maritima.
These readjustments were attributed as biochemical adaptation in
physiology of salt tolerance. Department of Botany, University of Karachi. |
