Histochemical demonstration of non-specific esterase in wheat root
- 1 Institute of Plant Physiology and Soil Biology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Praha
Azo-coupling methods were used for demonstrating non-specific esterase in the wheat root in all parts of a transverse section, usually with the exception of the woody parts of the vascular bundle. The central cylinder gave a more intense reaction than the primary cortex and the rhizoderm. The reaction was not inhibited by dodecyl sulphate. A weakening of the reaction intensity was observed after application of AgNO3. The Tween method did not yield reliable results.
