Abstract
Fumigation of wheat with methyl bromide causes a change in the polyacrylamide gel, isoelectric focusing profile of esterase proteins from aqueous extracts of wheat. The significance of this effect is discussed in the light of known reactions of methyl bromide in stored products.

Apart from its fungicidal e β ect, the strobilurin kresoxim-methyl (BAS 490 F) was found to induce physiological and developmental alterations in wheat (T riticum aestivum L.) which are seen in connection with improved yield.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) from vertebrates, other than their predominant acylcholine hydrolase (esterase) activity, display a genuine aryl acylamidase activity (AAA) capable of hydrolyzing the synthetic substrate o-nitroacetanilide to o-nitroaniline. This AAA activ
