Abstract:ABSTRACT:To understand the function of peroxidase (POD) in relation to a light gradient, changes in POD activity were studied in five different provenances of chestnut oak seedlings. An experiment was conducted in controlled conditions and six different irradiances (10, 20, 30, 50, 60, and 70% of full light) were considered. According to the results, POD activity was strongly related to irradiance and showed a decreasing response to light, with the largest changes at low light (10 to 30%) and a levelling-off a… Show more
