Triadimefon could inhibit the increase of peroxide (POD) activity and H2O2 content in different degree. It was found that contents of chlorophyll and protein were markedly negative correlated with the activity of POD and with the content of H2O2 respectively during the senescence of cotyledons. These results indicated triadimefon inhibit the degradation of chlorophyll and protein in cucumber cotyledons through POD- H2O2 enzyme system. | lld:pubmed |
