Abstract:
Peroxidases in leaves of 17 varieties of Chinese Chestnut were analysed.The results showed that these varieties were different in the per-oxidase activity.Peroxidase activity in dwarf-type varieties was much high than that in general varieties.Peroxidase activity in leaves of examined varieties had negative correlation with such characters as crown diameter, tree height, trunk diameter and length of branch.Therefore, Peroxidase activity in leaves can serve as a biochemistry index in celecting dwarf-type varieties of Chinese chestnut.
Key words:
