Abstract:
:In a study on 3-day maize (Zea mays) seedlings, grown on nitrate, requirements were established for the maximum extraction and optimum stabilization of nitrate reductase in vitro. With the primary root, 5 mm cysteine were required in the extraction medium, but for the scutellum, which has a high level of endogenous thiol, the use of additional thiol resulted in a reduced yield of a more labile enzyme. Activity of the root and scutella nitrate reductase was obtained with either NADH or NADPH, but that of the root enzyme with NADPH was only demonstrated in the absence of phosphate.Before leaf expansion, the nitrate reductase in the maize seedling was mainly in the scutellum. The enzyme present in the primary root was predominantly in the apical region (0-2 mm). In contrast, glutamate dehydrogenase was concentrated in the mature basal region of the root (30-60 mm). A high level of nitrate (approximately 100 mm) was required to saturate the induction of nitrate reductase in the root tip, mature root, and scutellum. The concentration of nitrate required to give half the maximum level of enzyme induced was the same for each region (29 mm).After leaf expansion, more than 90% of the nitrate reductase was in the shoot, mainly in the leaf blade, and a marked decrease occurred in the level of the enzyme in the scutellum. A large proportion of the glutamate dehydrogenase was still found in the root.
