In Vitro Alleviation of NaCl Induced Inhibition of Activities of Certain Enzymes by Phytohormones

When crude enzyme extracts of water imbibed seeds of Phaseolus aureus cv. K-851 were treated with 1×10⁻¹M NaCl, inhibited activities of alpha amylase, beta amylase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and protease were noted. But, when enzyme extract containing 1×10⁻¹M NaCl, was subjected to 1x10⁻¹⁰M (0.1NM) IAA, GA and Kn, the activities of these enzyme was increased, being maximum at the treatment of a mixture of 1x10⁻¹⁰ M of each IAA, GA and Kn.
