Plant Enzyme Activity Testing

Plant Enzyme Activity Testing

Plant Enzyme Activity Testing

Enzymes in plants affect the growth, division, and differentiation of plant cells and can determine rooting, germination, flowering, fruiting, dormancy, and abscission. Plant enzymes play an essential role in regulating and controlling the growth and development of plants. Plant enzyme activity refers to the concentration and activity degree of the enzyme in the plant, and its regulation and control is an important feature that distinguishes it from general catalysts. Plant enzyme activity assay is an indispensable part of plant growth and metabolism. Since enzymes have a high degree of specific catalytic activity, their activity can be determined by measuring the change in the concentration of the corresponding substrate or product or the change in the concentration of a reaction product or reactant. Lifeasible provides professional plant enzyme activity testing services for global customers, including glycolysis, glyoxylate cycle, oxidation and antioxidation, coenzymes, etc. The efficiency is higher for multiple enzymes together.

Testing Guidelines

  • Sampling. Several samples were taken from each of the plants of different growth periods and different parts of the plant, mixed and prepared as homogeneous plant samples.
  • Sample processing. The plant samples were ground into a fine powder, added with the appropriate amount of buffer, and shaken for a period of time so that the enzyme could be completely dissolved from the plant.
  • Enzyme activity assay. According to the selected assay method, a certain amount of reagent is added to the extract, and the chemical reaction is observed to calculate the enzyme activity in the plant.

Samples

  • Cells, centrifuged after sampling, medium removed, immediately placed in liquid nitrogen, and later stored at -80℃.
  • Leaves, stems, flowers, etc., are removed and immediately placed in liquid nitrogen, then stored at -80℃.
  • Fruit pulp, peel, etc.
  • Algae.
