METHOD OF DETECTING APOPTOSIS AND NECROSIS IN PEA VARIETIES RESISTANT OR SENSITIVE TO FUSARIUM OXSYSPORUM Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N33/02 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: superoxide dismutase enzyme activity on pea germinating seedlings which are resistant and susceptible measured after 10 days of sprouting, and if on the 10^th day, activity of the enzyme increases to 600-800 conventional units, the resistant varieties are diagnosed with necrosis, and if enzyme activity increases to 300-400 conventional units, the susceptible varieties are diagnosed with necrosis, and if enzyme activity drops to 125-200 conventional units, the resistant varieties are diagnosed with apoptosis and if enzyme activity drops to 50-120 conventional units, the susceptible varieties are diagnosed with apoptosis.

EFFECT: method can be used to assess resistance of selected material and study immunity mechanisms.
