Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate which is produced through glucoraphanin hydrolysis via myrosinase activity. In the present study, SFN content and peroxidase activity has been assessed in treated Lepidium draba seedlings with different concentrations of iron and copper during 8 and 16 hours treatment. The results showed that the SFN content drastically elevated at treatment with...

in order to study seed hardening process in pomegranate, some of the relevant biochemical parameters were evaluated in fleshy part of arils or seeds in various soft and hard seeded pomegranate genotypes from the initial fruit set upto ripening stages. lignin was determined from the seeds and enzyme assays were performed on the flesh of arils. analysis of variance revealed significant difference...

Recent studies have indicated that peroxidase might function in the biological synthesis of thyroxine by the thyroid gland. Johnson and Tewkesbury (1) believed that thyroxine might be formed by the oxidative coupling of 2 molecules of diiodotyrosine. Westerfeld and Lowe (2) studied the oxidative condensation of p-cresol by hydrogen peroxide and peroxidase and suggested that peroxidase might be ...
