In our previous studies, it was established that with exposure of seeds to relatively low doses of ..gamma.. rays plants develop with increased germinative capacity and faster rate of development, as a result of which one observes the effect of earlier fruit bearing. This fact is useful to practice and interesting from the theoretical point of view. It was interesting to determine which changes in the seeds and plants lead to manifestation of the stimulating effect. The objective here was to determine whether there is a correlation between the faster development of irradiated plants and activity of one of the main oxidative enzymes, polyphenoloxidase.
