The extent to which the appearances of nitrite reductase (NIR; EC 1.7.7.1) and glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) are coordinated was studied in mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedlings. It was established by immunotitration that the increased activities of NIR and GS in the presence of light and nitr

During transformation of mustard seedlings cotyledons from storage organs to photosynthetically competent leaves, a process which occurs during the first 4 d after sowing, total glutamine-synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) activity increases from zero to the high level usually observed in green leaves. In
Nitrite reductase (NIR; EC 1.7.7.1) is a central enzyme in nitrate assimilation and is localized in plastids. The present study concerns the regulation of the appearance of NIR in cotyledons of the mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedling. It was shown that light exerts its positive control over the nitra
which is cytosolic, as if it were a plastidic protein. The appearance of NR3 depends on the plastidic factor in principally the same way as that of NR~ and NR2 whereas NR 4 is totally independent of the plastidic factor. The data document particular kinds of interaction between controlling factors
An increase of glutathione reductase (GR; EC 1.6.4.2) activity during the transformation of mustard (Sinapis alba L.) cotyledons from storage organs to photosynthetically competent leaves was previously found to be controlled by light acting via phytochrome (Drumm, H., Mohr, H., Z. Naturforsch. 28c
