The striking diversity in the expression pattern of the stress-related anionic peroxidase was observed during development of female cucumber flower. While the isoenzyme Prx3 was accumulated constitutively in the course of flower development, the expression patterns of other two isoenzymes (Prx1 and Prx2) were restricted to the period after flower opening. The virus infection was simulated by careful opening of the intact female flower buds 3 d before anthesis followed by exposition to the glasshouse environment for 3 d. The results obtained in this experiment revealed a marked accumulation of the isoenzyme Prx1 and Prx2 at anthesis. Under normal flower development, the pistils did not accumulate these isoenzymes at this stage. In contrast, the pattern of expression of Prx3 as well as of the pistil-specific peroxidase isoenzyme remained unchanged, confirming a constitutive type of expression. Beside the pistil, a 3-d exposition of the stripped flowers resulted in a marked accumulation of Prx1 and Prx2 isoenzymes also in both adjacent flower organs - the ovary and the pedicel. At the same time of the normal development of female flower these organs did not accumulate these isoenzymes.
