Amino acid metabolism in maize earshoots. Implications for assimilate preconditioning and nitrogen signaling.
Nitrogen (N) is an essential requirement for kernel growth in maize (Zea mays); however, little is known about how N assimilates are metabolized in young earshoots during seed development. The objective of this study was to assess amino acid metabolism in cob and spikelet tissues during the critical 2 weeks following silking. Two maize hybrids were grown in the field for 2 years at two levels o...
متن کاملThe amino acid composition and nitrogen metabolism of Tetrahymena geleii.
The nitrogen composition and metabolism of the typical animal microorganisms are relatively unknown. This is true largely because of the past unavailability of the Protozoa either in pure culture or in synthetic media. The ciliated protozoan, Tetrahymena geleii, is unique in that it has been available in pure culture for some time and recently (1949) it has been grown in synthetic medium (2). I...
متن کاملImplications of the cellular transport step for amino acid metabolism.
e do well to place the physicochemical W step of amino acid transport on our metabolic diagrams, wherever it intervenes, on a par with the more purely chemical steps we assemble on such charts. This recommendation does not mean, as some suppose, that we merely insert the step of intestinal absorption between digestion and intermediary metabolism; it means that in addition we insert the step of ...
متن کامل4th Amino Acid Assessment Workshop Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism: Implications for Establishing Safe Intakes
There are several features of the metabolism of the indispensable BCAAs that set them apart from other indispensable amino acids. BCAA catabolism involves 2 initial enzymatic steps that are common to all 3 BCAAs; therefore, the dietary intake of an individual BCAA impacts on the catabolism of all 3. The first step is reversible transamination followed by irreversible oxidative decarboxylation o...
متن کاملNitrogen metabolism of Lemna minor. I. Growth, nitrogen sources and amino acid inhibition.
Lemna minor grown in sterile culture on a minerals-sucrose medium can utilize as nitrogen source, in order of increasing growth rate: ammonia, nitrate, a mixture of glutamic and aspartic acids plus arginine, or a balanced mixture of amino acids (hydrolyzed casein). Maximum growth is found with nitrate plus hydrolyzed casein. Many synthetic mixtures of amino acids are unable to support growth. M...
