Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activities were visualized histochemically at the cellular level of a young and a mature tree of Metroxylon sagu employing histochemical technique. In the mature tree, intense PPO activity was observed in the cell wall of the parenchyma and xylem cells w...
