EFFECT OF ISOCATIONIC SODIUM SALTS ON THE GROWTH INTENSITY AND THE KINETICS OF GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE AND MALATE DEHYDROGENASE (DECARBOXYLATING) ACTIVITY OF BEAN SEEDLINGS
Abstract
Influence of isocationic sodium salts on the growth intensity and kinetics of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (MDHD) activity of bean seedlings is studied. It is found that NaCl, Na2SO4, NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 solutions have a very negative effect both on the growth of roots and on the growth of bean seedling stems. Relatively low concentrations of salts induce and high concentrations inhibit the activity of G6PDH and MDHD. Inducing the activity of these enzymes under salt stress seems to contribute to survival of beans seedlings.
