Keywords :Antioxidants are substances that protect plants and animals from external factors, especially reactive oxygen species. In order to investigate the effect of Quinoa seed priming (Titicaca genotype) with Boron trace element at five levels (control, 1 per thousand, 2 per thousand, 3 per thousand and 4 per thousand), a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The results showed that the priming of seeds with Boron had a positive and significant effect on the activity of the studied enzymes. Solution 1 per thousand Boron as the best treatment in this experiment increased the activity of Catalase (222), Ascorbate peroxidase (86.4) and Polyphenol oxidase (76). It was also observed that priming the seeds with a solution of 4 per thousand Boron reduced the activity of the enzymes studied, which could be due to Boron toxicity at high concentrations.

Antioxidants are substances that protect plants and animals from external factors, especially reactive oxygen species. In order to investigate the effect of Quinoa seed priming (Titicaca genotype) with Boron trace element at five levels (control, 1 per thousand, 2 per thousand, 3 per thousand and 4 per thousand), a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The results showed that the priming of seeds with Boron had a positive and significant effect on the activity of the studied enzymes. Solution 1 per thousand Boron as the best treatment in this experiment increased the activity of Catalase (222), Ascorbate peroxidase (86.4) and Polyphenol oxidase (76). It was also observed that priming the seeds with a solution of 4 per thousand Boron reduced the activity of the enzymes studied, which could be due to Boron toxicity at high concentrations.
