Abstract
Boron-deficient sunflower hypocotyls have, on a fresh weight basis, more cytoplasmic and cell wall peroxidase, more cytoplasmic hydroxyproline but equal cell wall hydroxyproline, and slightly less cell wall boron, than controls. Incubation of either Bdeficient or control cell wall suspensions with Sclerotium rolfsii culture nitrate released 80% of the peroxidase activity, but only 14 to 30% of the hydroxyproline. This differential extraction suggests that the hydroxyproline-containing protein of cell walls is not identical with peroxidase. Boron deficiency increased the susceptibility of cell walls to degradation by fungal enzymes, as measured by release of peroxidase and hydroxyproline, but not by reduction in dry weight.
