Two sites for β-oxidation of fatty acids in pea (Pisum sativum L.) cotyledons exist. One site is the microbody, the other the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial β-oxidation of fatty acids is carnitine-dependent. The fatty acid permeates the membrane as palmitoylcarnitine which is formed from cytosolic-sid

The intracellular distribution of the enzymes of nitrate and ammonia assimilation in apical cells of pea (Pisum sativum L.) roots is described. Nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.2) was found to have no organelle association, and is considered to be located in the cytosol or possibly loosely bound to the o
Activities of nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.1), nitrite reductase (NiR; EC 1.7.7.1), glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH; EC 1.4.1.3) were measured in cotyledons of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv Peredovic) seedlings during germination and early growth under
