Relationships 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 کاملNitrate 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 کاملEtioplast Development in Dark-grown Leaves of Zea mays L.
The ultrastructure of etioplasts and the acyl lipid and the fatty acid composition of sequential 2-centimeter sections cut from the base (youngest) to the top (oldest) of nonilluminated 5-day-old etiolated leaves of Zea mays L., and the acyl lipid and fatty acid composition of the etioplasts isolated from them have been investigated. There is a 2.5-fold increase in the size of the plastids from...
متن کاملHealth Benefits of Purple Corn (Zea mays L.) Phenolic Compounds
Purple corn (Zea mays L.), a grain with one of the deepest shades in the plant kingdom, has caught the attention of the food industry as it could serve as a source for alternatives to synthetic colorants. Also being rich in phenolic compounds with potential health-promoting properties, purple corn is becoming a rising star in the novel ingredients market. Although having been widely advertised ...
متن کاملPhenolic profiles of Andean purple corn (Zea mays L.)
Qualitative and quantitative high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) was performed to characterize the presence of phenolic compounds in Andean purple corn. Phenolic compounds were analyzed by separating them in two main fractions: a water fraction (WF) and an ethyl acetate fraction (EAF). The WF rich in anthocyanins revealed the presence of cyanidin-3-gluco...
