title: On alcohol dehydrogenase activity in aged pea seeds.
abstract: Inhibitory substances (or substance) of alcohol: NAD oxidoreductase activity are present in petroleumbenzin extracts of both less than 1-year-old and 8-year-old pea seeds. The inhibitory effect is very strong when petroleumbenzin extracts of "old" pea seeds are used, only mild in the case of "young" pea seeds. These results suggest a relatioship between the inhibitory substances and ageing of the seeds.
