چکیده

Nitrate reductase inhibitor is usually found in the roots of rice plants (Oryza sativa L. cv MR7), but it was also produced in the shoots of aging plants. The inhibitor was inducible in the shoot of rice seedlings by dark, minus-nitrate or plus-ammonium treatments. There appears to be a general involvement of the inhibitor in the control of nitrate assimilation in the plant.

Nitric oxide generated by nitrate reductase increases nitrogen uptake capacity by inducing lateral root formation and inorganic nitrogen uptake under partial nitrate nutrition in rice

Increasing evidence shows that partial nitrate nutrition (PNN) can be attributed to improved plant growth and nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) in rice. Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling molecule involved in many physiological processes during plant development and nitrogen (N) assimilation. It remains unclear whether molecular NO improves NUE through PNN. Two rice cultivars (cvs Nanguang and Elio)...

Analysis 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...

اثرات نیترات پتاسیم بر برخی خصوصیات بیوشیمیایی و فعالیت آنزیم نیترات ردوکتاز در دانهال‌های پسته (Pistacia vera L.) تحت تنش کلرید سدیم

In the present study, response of Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) on nitrate reductase activity, some biochemical characters and ions accumulation to salinity were evaluated. Salinity treatments (0, 75, 150 mM NaCl) and potassium nitrate (0, 10, 15 mM) were imposed and sampling were done 100 days after treatments. Results indicated that sodium chloride at 75 mM plus 10 mM potassium nitrate resulte...

Two short sequences in OsNAR2.1 promoter are necessary for fully activating the nitrate induced gene expression in rice roots

Nitrate is an essential nitrogen source and serves as a signal to control growth and gene expression in plants. In rice, OsNAR2.1 is an essential partner of multiple OsNRT2 nitrate transporters for nitrate uptake over low and high concentration range. Previously, we have reported that -311 bp upstream fragment from the translational start site in the promoter of OsNAR2.1 gene is the nitrate res...

Phytosiderophores revisited: 2′-deoxymugineic acid-mediated iron uptake triggers nitrogen assimilation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings

Poaceae plants release phytosiderophores into the rhizosphere in order to chelate iron (Fe), which often exists in insoluble forms especially under high pH conditions. The impact of phytosiderophore treatment at the physiological and molecular levels in vivo remains largely elusive, although the biosynthesis of phytosiderophores and the transport of phytosiderophore-metal complexes have been we...
