Catalase and peroxidase activates during germination are as follows. When Vicia Faba seeds are soaked for 24 hours and are germinated in the saw-dust with temperature of 25°C, catalase and peroxidase activities increase rapidly in the root and bud at the beginning of germination. Catalase activity reaches a maximum after 2 days in the root and bud, and peroxidase activity reaches a maximum after 3 days in the root, and after 4 days in the buds, and then it decreases rapidly, afterwards remaining constant. On the other hand, catalase activity shows its maximum after 5 days in the cotyledon, and peroxidase activity exhibits its maximum after 6 days in the cotyledon, and then these two decrease rapidly. Catalase maximum activity is found prior to the appearance of peroxidase maximum activity.
