Abstract
Field experiments were conducted in three vegetation periods in order to examine the effect of nitrogen fertilization (0 or 200 kg N · ha-1) on peroxidase and catalase activities in tubers of the potato cv. Uran. Activity of the enzymes was determined in three growth phases of the period from July (flowering) to September (harvest). The highest activity of peroxidase and the lowest of catalase were recorded at the flowering phase, independently on the nitrogen fertilization. Next, the activity of peroxidase decreased until harvest and that of catalase increased, reaching the maximum at the haulm drying up time. The effect of nitrogen fertilization on the increase of peroxidase and catalase activities was significant during a whole vegetation period. The difference was about 43%, in comparison to the non-fertilized tubers. The observed increase of these anti-oxidative enzymes activity could result from an oxidative stress caused by the excessive N-dose
