چکیده

Soybean cell suspension cultures grew on defined media with ammonium as the sole nitrogen source if Krebs cycle acids were added. Satisfactory growth was obtained with ammonium salts of citrate, malate, fumarate, or succinate, when compared with the regular medium containing nitrate and ammonium. Little or no growth occurred when ammonium salts of shikimate, tartrate, acetate, carbonate, or sulfate were used. The cells also grew well with l-glutamine as nitrogen source. The specific activities of glutamine synthetase and isocitrate dehydrogenase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) were lower than in cells grown on a nitrate medium, but ammonium enhanced the activity of glutamate dehydrogenase. Cells of soybean, wheat, and flax have been cultured for an extended period on the ammonium citrate medium.

The effects of amino acids and ammonium on the growth of plant cells in suspension culture.

A suspension culture of soybean (Glycine max L.) was grown on a defined medium in which the nitrogen sources were nitrate (25 mM) and ammonium (2 mM). The cells did not grow on nitrate unless the medium was supplemented with ammonium or glutamine. The l- and d-isomers of 12 amino acids tested singly could not replace ammonium. Most amino acids (4 mM) inhibited growth when the cells were culture...

Transcription Factor OsDOF18 Controls Ammonium Uptake by Inducing Ammonium Transporters in Rice Roots

Nitrogen is one of the most important mineral elements for plant growth. We studied the functional roles of Oryza sativa DNA BINDING WITH ONE FINGER 18 (OsDOF18) in controlling ammonium uptake. The growth of null mutants of OsDOF18 was retarded in a medium containing ammonium as the sole nitrogen source. In contrast, those mutants grew normally in a medium with nitrate as the sole nitrogen sour...

Role of L-lysine-alpha-ketoglutarate aminotransferase in catabolism of lysine as a nitrogen source for Rhodotorula glutinis.

Wild-type and saccharopine dehydrogenaseless mutant strains of Rhodotorula glutinis grew in minimal medium containing lysine as the sole nitrogen source and simultaneously accumulated, in the culture supernatant, large amounts of a product identified as alpha-aminoadipic-delta-semialdehyde. The saccharopine dehydrogenase and pipecolic acid oxidase levels remained unchanged in wild-type cells gr...
