The pericarp of the dormant sugarbeet fruit acts as a storage reservoir for nitrate, ammonium and Ξ±-amino-N. These N-reserves enable an autonomous development of the seedling for 8-10 d after imbibition. The nitrate content of the seed (1% of the whole fruit) probably induces nitrate-reductase activ

Nitrate reductase (NR, NADH:nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.1) from barley (Hordeum vulgate L. cv. Hassan) leaves was inactivated during a light-dark transition, losing approx. 50% of activity after 30 min of darkness. The dark inactivation was reversed by illumination of the seedlings, the kinetic
The effect of different salts on the nitrate reductase (NR) activity of Rhodobacter sphaeroides SW was studied. An increase of the activity in the presence of monovalent cations was observed (90, 80 and 77% with Na', K + and NHf, respectively), whereas divalent cations inhibited the enzyme activity
