Abstract

The distribution, ultrastructure, and cytochemical properties of microbodies (peroxisomes) from the main roots and mature leaves of Panax ginseng were studied by electron microscopy included the activity of catalase in 3, 3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) medium at pH 9, using glutaraldehyde-fixed tissues. The microbodies, which are about $0.5{\sim}1.5{\mu}$ diameter, were described from mesophyll cells of mature leaves and storage cells and cambial cells of main roots. The microbodies of the ginseng include the coreless, homogeneous matrix, in which catalase activities are present.
