The effect of various drugs on activity enzymes during germination of cotton seeds

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies to determine the activity of enzymes in cotton seedlings, the seeds of which were treated before sowing with various concentrations of the preparation Ecostimul, obtained on the basis of hydrogen peroxide H₂O , and biologically active preparations Organic-1, Organic-2 (isolated from the stems of bent wood - Licium flexicaule Pojark.) and Gledan (isolated from seeds gledichii G. tricanthos). It has been established that the drugs used have a stimulating effect on the activity of peroxidase and catalase enzymes and that with the action of the drug Ecostimul (0.75%) during seed germination, the physiological and biochemical activity of peroxidase increases by more than 2, and the activity of catalase by 1.4 times. An increase in the activity of enzymes contributed to the acceleration of seed germination for 2-3 days.
