Abstract

A study was made on the isoenzyme patterns of the anti-oxidative enzyme peroxidase in three crop species viz., Solanum esculentum (tomato), Vigna radiata (mung bean ) and Zea mays (maize)  exposed to low levels of SO2 . Exposure to the  phytotoxicant  gas resulted in alteration in isozyme profiles. The intensity and number of Peroxidase(POD) bands increased in S. esculentum and V. radiata. Changes in isoperoxide zymograms are indicative of enhanced  peroxidation  processs in response to pollutant-stress. This method also underlines the value of Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE) in sensitivity screening of degrees of SO2- tolerance, prior to the manifestation of visible injury symptoms
