The source of nitric oxide (NO) in plants is unclear and it has been reported NO can be produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) like enzymes and by nitrate reductase (NR). Here we used wild-type, Atnos1 mutant and nia1, nia2 NR-deficient mutant plants of Arabidopsis thaliana to investigate the potential source of NO production in response to Verticillium dahliae toxins (VD-toxins). The results revealed that NO production is much higher in wild-type and Atnos1 mutant than in nia1, nia2 NR-deficient mutants. The NR inhibitor had a significant effect on VD-toxins-induced NO production; whereas NOS inhibitor had a slight effect. NR activity was significantly implicated in NO production. The results indicated that as NO was induced in response to VD-toxins in Arabidopsis, the major source was the NR pathway. The production of NOS-system appeared to be secondary.

The effect of nitrate, nitrite and ammonia as inorganic nitrogen sources on the modulation of nitrogen metabolism of Botryococcus braunii UTEX.-572 has been studied under aeration. The primary process in the regulation of nitrogen metabolism by this alga has the nitrate uptake system. This uptake of nitrate operation was immediately inhibited by the presence of 0.5 mM of ammonium and reversed by 0.2∼0.3 mM ammonium. When cell were exposed to 5 mM of ammonium for 24 hours the activity of nitrate reductase became inactive.

Leaf mesophyll protoplasts of Nicotiana tabacum (nitrate reductase deficient mutant) were fused with cell suspension protoplasts of albino Petunia inflata in an electric field. Hybrid cell colonies were selected for nitrate reductase proficiency and chlorophyll synthesis. Five hybrid plant lines, regenerated from the selected calli lines, were analysed by electrophoresis, number of chromosomes and morphological characters. Somtic hybrid plants showed both parent patterns in the isozymesof isoleucine aminopeptidase and esterase. The hybrids had the expected chromosome number of 62 and exhibited an intermediate floral morphology when compared with the parents, but plant height and leaf arrangement were similar to N. tabacum.

$CO_2$와 질소동화작용에 있어서의 잎과 줄기간의 세포간 관계가 잔디군락의 자연 환경 상태하에서 자라는 Portulaca oleracea 에서 조사되었다. 기공이 줄기에서는 관찰되지 않는 반면 잎에서는 $1cm^2$당 3,275개가 나타났다. 어린 쇠비름 잎의 기공의 조헝운 범에누누 높고 낮에는 낮다. 최고 활성을 갖는 마디의 순서는 위에서 아래로 떨어짐에 따라 변화한다.P.oleracea 의 줄기조직은 CMA의 최고 활성을 나타내었으나 잎에서는 CMA의 활성이 나타나지 않았다. 빠른 산의 성화는 새벽에 원줄기에서 보여지나 줄기는 서서히 증가하는 것 밖에 관찰되지 않는다. RuPB carboxy-lase의 활성은 거의 관찰 되지 않는다. 특히 잎새에서의 PEP carboxylase의 활성은 이른 아침에 줄기에서는 낮고 잎에서는 매우 높음을 보여준다. 이런 결과는 새벽에 열려진 기공을 통과할$CO_2$가 PEP carboxylase에 의해 잎에서 동화되고 $C_4$생산물이 줄기로 이동함을 나타낸다. Nitrate 축적과 nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, glutamine symithetase, gluamate symthase, glutamade dehydrogenase의 농도는 잎보다 줄기에서 더 높았고 밤보다 낮에 더 높다. 이것은 뿌리를 통해 흡수된 nitrate의 상당한 양이 줄기에서 동화되고 줄기 조직을 통해 잎으로 이동되어 거기에서 감소된다.

The objective of the present work was to determine the corresponding uptake and assimilation of ${NO_3}^-$ in roots and shoots of leafy radish by applying of mixed amino acids (MAA). The amino acids used in this experiment were alanine (Ala), ${\beta}-alanine\;({\beta}-Ala)$, aspartic acid (Asp), asparagines (Asn), glutamic acid (Glu), glutamine (Gln), and glycine (Gly). Leafy radish was grown by conventional fertilization with macro- and micronutrients under controlled conditions. The 15-day-old seedlings were treated 0, 0.3 and 3.0 mM of MAA containing 5 mM ${NO_3}^-$ in growth medium. Nitrate uptake was determined by following ${NO_3}^-$ depletion from the uptake solution. The activity of the enzymes related to the process of ${NO_3}^-$ reduction (NR: nitrate reductase; NiR: nitrite reductase; GS: glutamine synthetase) and the content of ${NO_2}^-\;and\;{ND_3}^-$ were analyzed in shoots and roots. The results of this study showed that ${NO_3}^-$ uptake was inhibited 38% with treatment of 0.3 mM of MAA. However, there was more than three times increase of N03- uptake in 3.0 mM MAA. In addition, the enzymatic activities were positively affected by the high MAA rate. Finally, the ${NO_3}^-$ content was increased slightly both in shoots and roots of leafy radish by MAA treatments.

Plants response to phosphate starvation include the changes of activity of some enzymes, such as phosphatases, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, sucrose-phosphate synthase and nitrate reductase. In this study, to determine the effects of phosphate starvation on the change of activities of acid and alkaline phosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, sucrose-phosphate synthase, and nitrate reductase were studied in melon seedlings (Cucumis melo L.). The content of the protein and chlorophyll tended to relatively reduced in melon seedlings subjected to phosphate starvation. Acid phosphatase activity in first and second leaves of melon seedlings was relatively higher than that of third and fourth leaves of seedlings in 14 days after phosphate starvation treatment, respectively. Active native-PAGE band patterns of acid phosphatase in melon leaves showed similar to activities of acid phosphatase, whereas alkaline phosphatase activity was different from the change in the activity of acid phosphatase. Inorganic phosphate content in melon seedlings leaves was constant. The changes of Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and sucrose phosphate synthase activities showed similar patterns in melon seedlings leaves, and between these enzymes activities and phosphate nutrition negatively related. Fructose-1,6- bisphosphatase and sucrose phosphate synthase activities showed significant difference in second and fourth leaves, but nitrate reductase showed significant difference in first and second leaves in 14days after phosphate starvation treatment. We concluded that phosphate nutrition could affect the distribution of phosphate, carbon and nitrogen in melon seedlings.

콩의 내한발성 품종육성 및 선발에 대한 기초자료를 얻고자 팔달콩, 새알콩 및 단엽콩을 공시하여 수경재배에서는 수경액을 PEG처리로, pot 실험에서는 단수처리하여 수분부족을 유기하고 PEG 농도, 품종 및 생육시기별로 엽의 수분 potential, 질산환원효소의 활성 및 ABA 함량을 조사하였다. 1. 엽의 수분 potential은 PEG의 농도가 높을수록 낮았으며 생육시기에 따라서는 제1엽기보다 제3엽기와 제5엽기에 높았는데, 품종간에는 차이가 없었다. 엽의 수분 potential은 단수처리 3일후에 무처리에서보다 약 2.2배가 감소되었다. 2. 질산환원효소의 활성은 PEG의 농도가 높을수록 낮았고 제1엽기보다 제3엽기와 제5엽기에 높았으며, 품종간에는 팔달콩이 새알콩과 단엽콩 보다 높았다. 단수처리에서는 처리 3일후에 질산환원효소의 활성이 무처리에서보다 약 47%가 감소되었다. 3. ABA의 함량은 PEG의 농도가 높을수록 높았고 제1엽기와 제3엽기보다 제5엽기에 높았으며 품종간에는 팔달콩이 새알콩과 단엽콩보다 높았다. 단수처리에서는 처리 3일 후에 ABA의 함량이 무처리에서보다 약 1.7배가 증가하였으며 생육후기보다 생육초기에 더욱 증가하였다.

본 논문은 중국 장백산 북사면의 5가지 산림 군집에서 우세목의 잎 내 질소 환원 효소의 활성도를 보다 개량된 방법을 적용하여 측정 분석한 내용을 다루었다. 질소 환원 효소의 활성도는 수목의 내음성과 연관이 깊은 것으로 파악되어, 양수일수록 질소 환원 효소의 활성도가 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 또한 질소 환원 효소의 활성도는 산림내의 수직적 구조와 생태적 입지 조건과 연관이 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 질소 환원 효소의 활성도가 높은 수종들은 생장이 빠르고 생산력이 높은 것으로 판단된다.

The role of inorganic nitrogen assimilation in the production of amino acids, organic acids and soluble sugars is one of the most important biochemical processes in plants, and, in order to achieve normally, nitrate uptake and assimilation is essential. For this reason, the characterization of nitrate assimilation and metabolite composition from leaves, roots and xylem sap of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) was investigated under different nitrate levels in media. Tomato plants were grown hydroponically in liquid culture under five different nitrate regimes: deficient (0.25 and 0.75 mM $NO_3{^-}$), normal (2.5 mM $NO_3{^-}$) and excessive (5.0 and 10.0 mM $NO_3{^-}$). All samples, leaves, roots and xylem sap, were collected after 7 and 14 days after treatment. The levels of amino acids, soluble sugars and organic acids were significantly decreased by N-deficiency whereas, interestingly, they remained higher in xylem sap as compared with N-normal and -surplus. The N-excessive condition did not exert any significant changes in metabolites composition, and thus their levels were similar with N-normal. The gene expression and enzyme activity of nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NIR) and glutamine synthetase (GS) were greatly influenced by nitrate. The data presented here suggest that metabolites, as a signal messenger, existed in xylem sap seem to play a crucial role to acquire nitrate, and, in addition, an increase in ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate pathway-derived amino acids under N-deficiency may help to better understand plant C/N metabolism.
