The present study investigated the effects of triacontanol (TRIA) on plant growth and peroxisomal enzyme activities in radish seedlings. The optimum concentration of TRIA with respect to radish seedling bioassay was decided to 1.0mg $1^{-1}$. In comparison to untreated controls (including Tween 20 treatment), 1.0mg $1^{-1}$ TRIA treatment caused an increase in seed germination rate and root growth, but no stimulation in hypocotyl growth. Chlorophyll accumulation in cotyledon during carly development stage increased rapidly, and degradation of chlorophyll in later stage due to the cotyledon senesence was noticeably retarded. Increase of soluble protein content in cotyledon at early period of development was observed. Isocitrate lyase and catalase activity was not significantly different in both the treated and the untreated plants. But, glycolate oxidase activity was inhibited by TRIA down to 20% against controls. Also, the increase of the activity of peroxidase, a leaf-senescence marker enzyme, was continuously retarded over control for 8 days of development. Based on above results, TRIA was found to be active in both the growth and the peroxisomal enzyme activities of radish seedlings.

The enzyme patterns and the food storage changes in radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Taewang) cotyledons during seedling development were studied. The radish seeds were germinated for 8 days at $25^{\circ}C$ under light (7, 000 lux) or dark condition. The lipid and protein contents per seed were 4.3 mg and 2.85 mg respectively. In 8-day-old light-grown seedling, the lipid and protein contents per cotyledon pair were 1.5 mg and 2.08 mg; in 8-day-old dark-grown seedling, they were 0.8 mg and 1.24 mg respectively. The heterotrophic phase of seedlings continued for 3 days after sowing and followed by autotrophic phase (3~6 day) and senescence phase (6~8 day). The food storage function decreased in response to time course. During heterotrophic phase, the activities of glyoxysomal enzymes (malate synthetase, isocitrate lyase, and catalase) were high at 2~3 day. Those patterns were somewhat more prominent in darkness. During the autotrophic phase, the activities of peroxysomal enzymes (glycolate oxidase and catalase) increased at 4~5 day.

The changes in activities of glyoxysomal and peroxisomal enzymes during the transition from fat degradation to photosynthesis were investigated with the cotyledns of rape (Brassica napus L.) seedlings. The development and disappearance of glyoxysomal enzyme (isocitrate lyase, EC 4.1.3.1; malate dehydrogenase, EC 1.1.1.37; catalase, EC 1.11.1.6) activities took place independently of light. It is concluded that the mobilization of storage fat is independent of photomorphogenesis. During early periods of development in the dark of light (days 1 through 3), the glyoxysomal enzyme activities were relatively high and the enzyme activities rose to a peak at 3rd day after sowing. Thereafter, the activities decreased gradually. While glyoxysomal enzyme activities were dropping, the peroxisomal enzyme (glycolate oxidase, EC 1.1.3.1) activities were increasing rapidly during the transition period in the light. Moreover, the changes of enzyme activities of the common microbody marker, catalase, indicated both functional patterns. The enzyme patterns in rape cotyledons indicate that the glyoxysomal function of microbodies is replaced by the peroxisomal function of these organelles during the transition from fat degradation to photosynthesis.

담배와 인삼은 광강도에 따라 반응이 다르게 나타났다. $CO_2$ 흡수량과 RuBPCase 활성은 담배의 경우 1900 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 높았고 인삼은 500 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 높았다. 담배와 인삼의 $CO_2$ 흡수량과 RuBPCase 활성의 차이는 담배가 3.7배, 2.7배 각각 높았다. $CO_2$ 흡수량과 RuBPCase 활성과의 상관은 담배에서 고도의 정의 상관이 인정되었으나 인삼은 부의 상관이 인정되는 경향이었다. Glycolate oxidase 와 Malate dehydrogenase 활성은 담배의 경우 1,900 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 높았고, 인삼은 1000 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 높았다. 담배의 Nitrate reductase 활성은 광조건이 1900 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$가 500 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$보다 2배 높았으나 인삼은 광처리구 모두 Nitrate reductase 활성을 검출할 수 없었다. 단백질함량과 엽록소함량은 담배가 인삼보다 적정 광구에서 2.2배, 1.5배 각각 높았다. 엽록소 a/b의 비율은 담배의 경우 500 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 낮았고 인삼은 1000 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 낮았다. 단백질함량과 엽록소함량과의 관계는 담배에서 고도의 정상관이었고 인삼은 500 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 처리 후 5일에 부상관이 인정되었다. 단백질조성은 담배와 인삼이 상이하였지만 주 band의 분자량은 담배와 인삼 모두 50KD과 15KD으로 비슷하였다. 이들은 처리 후 시기가 지나면 희미해졌으며 담배는 500 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 인삼은 1000 $\mu$ E m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$에서 47KD이었다.
