| dc.description.abstract | The induction of NRA by nitrate has been
demonstrated in various plants under strictly controlled
conditions. When nitrate supply is limited, NRA is almost
undetectable in the majority of the plants. This has led
to the conclusion that nitrate is the main inducer of
NRA. On the other hand, NRIE activity has not been shown
to respond similarly towards nitrate. The conclusion has
therefore been that NRIE is essentially a constitutive
enzyme.
In this study, the influence of nitrogenous
fertiliser on NR and NRIE activities was investigated.
Nitrate reductase and nitrate reductase inhibiting enzyme
activities were assayed both from leaf and root tissues. | en |
