Nitrate Effect on Nitrogen Fixation (Acetylene Reduction): ACTIVITIES OF LEGUME ROOT NODULES INDUCED BY RHIZOBIA WITH VARIED NITRATE REDUCTASE ACTIVITIES.
The effect of nitrate on symbiotic nitrogen fixation by root nodules of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L., Walp., cv. California Blackeye) and lupine (Lupinus augustifolius L., cv. Frost) plants inoculated with nitrate reductase-expressing and nitrate reductase-nonexpressing Rhizobium strains were examined. Nitrate reductase of Rhizobium bacteroids in the nodules of cowpea and lupine reduced nitrate...
متن کاملNitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) by epiphytes of freshwater macrophytes.
The involvement of epiphytic microorganisms in nitrogen fixation was investigated in a shallow freshwater pond near Ithaca, N.Y. The acetylene reduction technique was used to follow diel and seasonal cycles of nitrogen fixation by epiphytes of Myriophyllum spicatum. Acetylene-reducing activity was maximal between noon and 6 p.m., but substantial levels of activity relative to daytime rates cont...
متن کاملEffect of Nitrate on Nodulation and Nitrogen Fixation of Soybean
1.1 Biological nitrogen fixation and nitrogen nutrition in soybean plants Biological nitrogen fixation is one of the most important processes for ecosystem to access available N for all living organisms. Although N2 consists 78% of atmosphere, but the triple bond between two N atoms is very stable, and only a few group of prokaryotes can fix N2 to ammonia by the enzyme nitrogenase. Annual rate ...
متن کاملNitrate reduction and nitrogen fixation in symbiotic association Rhizobium-legumes.
The inhibitory effect of nitrate on nitrogenase activity in root nodules of legume plants has been known for a long time. The major factor inducing changes in nitrogenase activity is the concentration of free oxygen inside nodules. Oxygen availability in the infected zone of nodule is limited, among others, by the gas diffusion resistance in nodule cortex. The presence of nitrate may cause chan...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurement of nitrogen fixation estimated by acetylene-ethylene assay and nitrate absorption by soybeans.
An apparatus was designed for simultaneous measurement of rates of N(2) fixation estimated by C(2)H(2)-C(2)H(4) assay (N(2)[C(2)H(2)] fixation) and NO(3) (-) absorption by roots of intact, nodulated soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). The principal design features include: (a) a gas-tight mist chamber in which nodulated roots can be exposed simultaneously to C(2)H(2) in the gas phase and to a li...
