CHANGES IN THE ACTIVITY OF ENZYME ACID PHOSPHATASE (E.C. 3.1.3.2) DURING LEAF SENESCENCE IN SERICULTURAL CROP MORUS ALBA LINN.

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;An attempt has been made to study the changes in enzyme acid phosphatase during leaf senescence in mulberry (Morus alba Linn.). The changes in acid phosphatase activity during leaf senescence in the three mulberry cultivars namely M5 (K2), V1 and S36 are recorded. It is evident from the figure, that the activity of enzyme acid phosphatase is slightly increased with increase in leaf age of mulberry cultivars. Among the three leaf categories young leaves have the lowest enzyme activity in case of all the three cultivars .Thus, presence of the acid phosphatase in the leaves may affects silkworms, young and mature leaves of mulberry are fed to silkworm.</p>
