Abstract
Zinc deficient seedlings of maize (Zea mays var. Ganga-2) were grown in purified sand and the effect of Zn deficiency on the activities of carbonic anhydrase and alkaline phosphatase was studied in the early stages of growth. The enzymic activities showed a decline within a period of 15 days in the Zn deficient seedlings. Addition of Zn alongwith other nutrients to these plants restored the enzymic activity within 24h. A direct correlation between /sup 65/Zn uptake and enzymic activities was observed. Studies with incorporation of /sup 14/C and /sup 3/H labelled precursors showed considerable differences in DNA synthesis of normal and Zn deficient plants, whereas, protein and RNA synthesis were slightly affected.
