    Notes: Abstract The cellular location of three peroxidase isoenzymes (PRX) in mature leaf tissue of Petunia and their affinity for Concanavalin A-Sepharose were investigated. The isoenzymes PRXa, PRXb and PRXc were identified by their positions in starch-gel zymograms. The fast-moving anodic and cathodic peroxidase bands, the isoenzymes PRXa and PRXc respectively, were the most active peroxidases in extracellular extracts. The molecular forms of PRXa showed a tissue-specific distribution between midrib and remaining leaf tissue. An intermediate-moving anodic peroxidase band, the isoenzyme PRXb, was the most active peroxidase released after extraction of isolated mesophyll protoplasts. Small amounts of the peroxidase isoenzymes were present in cell-wall-bound fractions. Incubation of a crude protein fraction with Concanavalin A-Sepharose showed that the isoenzyme PRXb bound more firmly to Concanavalin A-Sepharose than the isoenzymes PRXa and PRXc, of which only one molecular form bound partly. The results are discussed with respect to a possible function of one of the peroxidase isoenzymes, and a possible role of oligosaccharide chains in determining the cellular location of plant peroxidases is suggested.

    Notes: At the nonpermissive temperature, somatic embryos of the temperature-sensitive (ts) carrot (Daucus carota L.) cell variant ts11 only proceed beyond the globular embryo stage in the presence of medium conditioned by wild-type cells. The causative component in the conditioned medium has been identified as an acidic 32 kD endochitinase. An antiserum raised against the 32 kD chitinase detected this protein in culture medium from ts11 embryo cultures grown at the permissive temperature as well as at the nonpermissive temperature. No difference in biochemical characteristics or in effect on ts11 embryo development could be detected between the 32 kD chitinase purified from wild-type cultures and the chitinase from ts11 cultures grown at the permissive or at the nonpermissive temperature. Compared to the amount present in a ts11 embryo culture at the permissive temperature, a reduction in the amount of 32 kD chitinase was observed during the temperature-sensitive period at the nonpermissive temperature. These results imply that the arrested embryo phenotype of ts11 is not the result of a structural difference in its 32 kD chitinase, but is the result of a transient decrease in the amount of 32 kD chitinase present. Morphological observations indicate that the ts11 phenotype is pleiotropic and also affects the cell wall of nonembryogenic cells. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
