Description:
The activity of enzymes characteristic for C4-type photosynthesis was determined in different organs of two herbaceous plants: Reynoutria japonica Houtt. and Helianthus tuberosus L. The activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) was usually higher in the roots, some of the stem tissues and petioles in comparison to the leaf blades. The highest activity of malic enzymes (NAD-ME, NADP-ME) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) was in the petioles and stem tissues of both plants and the lowest in the leaf blades and the pith of Helianthus tuberosus L. and M.
