In order to study the variation of nitrate reductase (NR) genes among grass species, gene number, intron size and number, and the heme-hinge fragment sequence of 25 grass species were compared. Genomic DNA cut with six restriction enzymes and hybridized with the barley NAD(P)H and NADH NR gene probes revealed a single NAD(P)H NR gene copy and two or more NADH NR gene copies per haploid genome i...
