Nitrate Reductase Activity and Polyribosomal Content of Corn (Zea mays L.) Having Low Leaf Water Potentials.
Desiccation of 8- to 13-day-old seedlings, achieved by withholding nutrient solution from the vermiculite root medium, caused a reduction in nitrate reductase activity of the leaf tissue. Activity declined when leaf water potentials decreased below -2 bars and was 25% of the control at a leaf water potential of -13 bars. Experiments were conducted to determine whether the decrease in nitrate re...
متن کاملNitrate Reductase Activity in Maize (Zea mays L.) Leaves: II. Regulation by Nitrate Flux at Low Leaf Water Potential.
Experiments were conducted to determine whether the nitrate flux to the leaves or the nitrate content of the leaves regulated the nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in leaves of intact maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings having low water potentials (psi(w)) when other environmental and endogenous factors were constant. In seedlings that were desiccated slowly, the nitrate flux, leaf nitrate content, an...
متن کاملAldose Reductase Inhibitory Activity of Compounds from Zea mays L.
Aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors have a considerable therapeutic potential against diabetes complications and do not increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Through bioassay-guided fractionation of an EtOH extract of the kernel from purple corn (Zea mays L.), 7 nonanthocyanin phenolic compounds (compound 1-7) and 5 anthocyanins (compound 8-12) were isolated. These compounds were investigated by rat ...
متن کاملRelationships between Carbon Dioxide, Malate, and Nitrate Accumulation and Reduction in Corn (Zea mays L.) Seedlings.
The observation that exposure of the leaf canopy to increasing concentrations of CO(2) (100-400 mul/l) decreases the influx of nitrate to the leaf blades, but not to the roots or stalks (largely leaf sheaths), was reconfirmed using (15)NO(3) (-). Decreases in leaf nitrate supply were associated with decreases in induction of nitrate reductase, thus supporting the view that the influx of nitrate...
متن کاملLeaf Proteolytic Activities and Senescence during Grain Development of Field-grown Corn (Zea mays L.).
Some proteolytic enzymes occurring in the leaves of field-grown corn (Zea mays) (B73) were identified and partially characterized. Changes in activities of several proteolytic enzymes and in concentrations of protein and chlorophyll as a function of intraleaf segments (tip to base), leaf position, and leaf senescence during grain development and maturation were followed in crude leaf extracts.T...
