DYNAMICS OF PEROXIDASE ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY AS AN ELEMENT OF ANTIOXIDANT DEFENSE IN TEA PLANT CAMELLIA SINENSIS (L.) KUNTZE
The paper studied the dynamics of guaiacol peroxidase enzymatic activity in fresh three-leaves flush among cultivars and its dependence on hydrothermal factors. The oxidative enzymatic activity of guaiacol peroxidase was determined by spectrophotometric method. In the period of active vegetation, sufficiently high activity of guaiacol peroxidase was found in young shoots (flushes) oftea plant. The data obtained showed that cultivar ‘Sochi’ is the most resistant to adverse abiotic factors.
