Unusual regulatory nitrate reductase activity in cotyledons of Brassica napus seedlings: enhancement of nitrate reductase activity by ammonium supply.
The effect of supplying either nitrate or ammonium on nitrate reductase activity (NRA) was investigated in Brassica napus seedlings. In roots, nitrate reductase activity (NRA) increased as a function of nitrate content in tissues and decreased when ammonium was the sole nitrogen source. Conversely, in the shoots (comprising the cotyledons and hypocotyl), NRA was shown to be independent of nitra...
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 کاملEnhancement 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 کاملInheritance of Nitrate Reductase Activity
-Since the F1 hybrid (B14 X Oh43) had been shown to have a higher (heterotic) level of nitrate reductase activity than either inbred parent (B14 or Oh43), studies were undertaken to determine the mode of inheritance. Standard methods for determining MNendelian inheritance were used to study segregation for level of nitrate reductase activity of individual plants. The genetic material used was t...
