Title: Studies on Glycolate Oxidase Activity in Mulberry Leaves From Different Varieties
Abstract: The activity of glycolate oxidase in mulberry leaves is an important index for selection of varieties with low photorespiration.Glycolate oxidase was purified from leaves of different mulberry varieties,and from mulberry leaves treated with sodium sulfide(Na2S) and oxalic acid(C2H2O4),and the activities of glycolate oxidase were determined by the method for testing of glyoxylate phenylhydrazone The results showed that the activities of glycolate oxidase in different mulberry varieties were markedly different;glycolate oxidase activity increased 100%~130% in the mulberry leaves treated with 0.5~2.0 mmol/L Na2S and decreased 49.6%~98.9% in the mulberry leaves treated with 50~200 mmol/L C2H2O4 than the control,respectively.
