Abstract

Catalase and peroxidase activities were run at several ages on two lines of corn (Zea mays L.)—GT112 RfRf, resistant, and GT112, susceptible to 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine). Atrazine significantly decreased catalase activity in GT112, while in treated GT112 RfRf catalase activity was usually significantly increased. Catalase activity was higher in GT112 RfRf than in GT112 for both treatments at all ages. GT112 RfRf had a higher peroxidase activity than GT112 when both were untreated, but when treated with atrazine there was no overall trend.
