Assimilation of gaseous ammonia and the transport of its products in barley and spinach leaves
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interactions between the assimilation and transport of nitrogen and carbon were investigated in barley and spinach leaves. Both plants were fumigated with NH3 (1 mg m ) and the content of amino acids, sucrose and carbon intermediates of amino acid metabolism were analysed in the leaves, apoplast and phloem sap. The following changes took place in the Cand N-metabolism of barley leaves during 5 h of fumigation with NH3. (a) The contents of amino acids, especially glutamine, largely increased and the contents of sucrose, 2-oxoglutarate, phosphoeno/pyruvate, and glycerate-3-phosphate declined, (b) A decrease in the phophoeno/pyruvate content was accompanied by an increased activity of phosphoeno/pyruvate carboxylase. (c) The altered cytosolic concentrations of amino acids and sucrose during NH3 fumigation correlated with similar changes in the apoplast and phloem sap. The altered percentage of each amino acid relative to the total amino acid concentration in the cytosol, caused by NH3 fumigation, is reflected in the apoplast and the phloem sap. The results indicate that the concentrations of amino acids in the cytosol determine their concentrations in the phloem.

Uptake and nitrate accumulation affected by partial replacement of nitrate-N with different source of amino acids in spinach and lettuce
As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Change in enzymes activities of N assimilation (NR, NiR and GS), residual nitrate (NO3-), soluble protein content, and yield of spinach and lettuce plants were investigated under replacing 20% nitrate-N in the nutrient solution by L-glycine and blood meal amino acids. Seeds of the mention...

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a very dangerous livestock disease which causes a serious loss in the production of milk and meat. Therefore, producing an effective recombinant subunit vaccine virus this disease is of great importance. Transient gene expression is a valuable tool to reach rapid and acceptable recombinant vaccine. An Agrobacterium-mediated transient gene expression assay was car...

In this study, selenite ions were reduced to selenium nanoparticles using a leaf extract of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants. Characterization of synthesized nanoparticles using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible spectrophotometry indicated the formation of variable size of selenium nanoparticles, suggesting that leaf extract could form polydispersed nanoparti...
