Describe the role of microsomal enzyme in insecticide degradation.
Answers
Seeds develop and mature within the fruits. Once the fruit attains maturity and ripens it is shed and the seeds inside it undergo period of dormancy. In some of the succulent fruits even though the seeds are provided with moisture they do not germinate. This is because of lack of other germination factors.
Dormancy is imposed by several inhibitors present in the seed coat or the seed itself. Sometimes seed coat is thick and highly impervious to water and oxygen. In the latter part of our discussion we shall discuss some of the factors which cause seed dormancy and also how this dormancy is overcome.

Inducers of microsomal enzymes stimulate the metabolism or synthesis of several normal body substrates such as steroid hormones, pyridine nucleotides, cytochromes, and bilirubin. Recent studies suggest that inducers of liver microsomal enzymes enhance the hydroxylation of steroids in man.
