Soybean Seed Peroxidase

Abstract

Research has been carried out to study the peroxidase activity of seed coats and the surface layer of seeds of various soybean varieties. It has been shown that the peroxidase activity of soybean seeds is located mainly on the surface layer behind the thin soybean shell, which plays a protective role against various agro-ecological stress factors. The content of proteins with peroxidase activity in soybean shells of the Vilana variety is 3.29-3.36% and the surface layer of seeds after separation of the shells is 0.95-1.1% of proteins containing peroxidase activity. The total protein content with peroxidase activity on whole seeds averages 1.7%.
