Abstract


Quantitative estimation of phenolics and related enzymes in insect induced galls (leaf, stem and flower) of Salvadora persica were studied. The contents of total phenols, o- dihydroxy phenol, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities in  galls and normal counter parts of Salvadora persica were measured.Total phenols, o-dihydroxy phenol and  peroxidase were recorded higher in gall tissues  while poly phenol oxidase activities were recorded higher in normal counter parts as compared to gall tissues.

Keywords


Salvadora persica; Total phenols; o–dihydroxy phenol; peroxidase polyphenol oxidase.
