Enhancement of Nitrate Reductase Activity by Benzyladenine in Agrostemma githago.
Nitrate reductase activity in excised embryos of Agrostemma githago increases in response to both NO(3) (-) and cytokinins. We asked the question whether cytokinins affected nitrate reductase activity directly or through NO(3) (-), either by amplifying the effect of low endogenous NO(3) (-) levels, or by making NO(3) (-) available for induction from a metabolically inactive compartment. Nitrate...
متن کاملAnalysis of nitrate reductase mRNA expression and nitrate reductase activity in response to nitrogen supply
Nitrate is one of the major sources of nitrogen for the growth of plants. It is taken up by plant roots and transported to the leaves where it is reduced to nitrite in the. The main objective of this research was to investigate stimulatory effects of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ammonia and urea on the production/generation of the nitrate reductase mRNA in Triticum aestivum plants. The pl...
متن کاملNitrate reductase for nitrate analysis in water
Nitrate analysis in water is one of the most frequently applied methods in environmental chemistry. Current methods for nitrate are generally based on toxic substances. Here, we show that a viable alternative method is to use the enzyme nitrate reductase. The key to applying this Green Chemistry solution for nitrate analysis is plentiful, inexpensive, analytical grade enzyme. We demonstrate tha...
متن کاملMolybdenum and Nitrate Reductase
Numerous investigators have shown that nitrate nitrogen accumulates in higher plants (l-3) and fungi (2, 4) which are deficient in molybdenum. Other workers have shown that sulfur, zinc, and manganese deficiencies in higher plants may also result in a similar phenomenon (5). The free amino acids present in molybdenum-deficient plants are usually less than those in normal tissues, thus indicatin...
متن کاملNitrate effects on nitrate reductase activity and nitrite reductase mRNA levels in maize suspension cultures.
Nitrate reductase (NR) activity and nitrite reductase (NiR) mRNA levels were monitored in Black Mexican Sweet maize (Zea mays L.) suspension cultures after the addition of nitrate. Maximal induction occurred with 20 millimolar nitrate and within 2 hours. Both NR and NiR mRNA were transiently induced with levels decreasing after the 2 hours despite the continued presence of nitrate in the medium...
