Nitrate reductase (NR) was extracted from leaf, root, and stem tissue of ‘Lovell’ peach seedlings [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] grown for 8 weeks in nutrient solution containing 15 mM nitrate. Enzyme activity of NR in leaf, stem, and root tissue was 10.20: 0.07: 0.04 nM N02/min/g tissue extracted, respectively. When seedlings wee transferred to nutrient solution containing 15 mM NH4, NR activity was not detected after 72 hours. The enzyme was specific for NADH and had a pH optimum of 7.5. The Km for NO3 was 1.3 x 10–3 M and the rate of reaction remained linear for 45 min. Enzyme activity of leaf tissue was dependent on NO3 concentration in the nutrient solution. At NO3 concentrations of 15, 7.5, 1.5, and 0.15 mM, the NR activity was 22.8, 16.2, 13.8, and 2.2 nM NO2/mg protein/hr.  相似文献

Summary Differences between isogenic uptake hydrogenase (HUP) mutants of Bradyrhizobium japonicum in terms of nodule efficiency, N2 fixation and N incorporation into various plant parts were studied in a monoxenic greenhouse experiment in order to confirm previous results with soybeans and beans inoculated with various HUP+ and HUP– strains. The HUP+ revertant PJ17-1 of a HUP– mutant (PJ17) of strain USDA DES 122 showed a completely restored relative efficiency (100% versus 78±2% for the HUP– mutant), higher nodule efficiency (N2 fixed per g nodules), higher ureide-N transport rates, higher N contents in pods and higher N harvest indices. All these observations confirm previous experiments with HUP+ and HUP– strains.  相似文献

Two field experiments were carried out in Northern Argentina, during the 1989–1990 and 1990–1991 growing seasons, on Argentinian and Brazilian maize genotypes. The inoculant consisted of a mixture of four Azospirillum brasilense strain isolated from surface-sterilized maize roots in Argentina and three A. lipoferum strains isolated from surface-sterilized maize or sorghum roots in Brazil. Establishment of the inoculated strains was confirmed by the antibiotic resistance of the strains in the highest dilution vials. In all treatments, numbers of Azospirillum spp. were increased and the inoculated strains were found in the highest dilutions. While grain yields of the different genotypes varied between 1700 and 7300 kg ha-1, total N accumulation was much less variable. Significant inoculation effects on total N accumulation and on grain yields were consistently negative with one Argentinian genotype and positive with four Argentinian and two Brazilian genotypes. Significant inoculation effects on leaf nitrate reductase activity at the flowering stage, observed in the range-55% to +176%, indicated the presence of various interactions between the plant NO inf3 sup- metabolism and Azospirillum spp. Three Brazilian and one Argentinian maize genotype showed significant decreases in leaf nitrate reductase due to inoculation while four Argentinian genotypes showed significant increases in leaf nitrate reductase activity. The results of the present study, were consistent over the two field experiments and strongly indicate that more detailed plant genotype-Azospirillum spp. strain interaction studies, taking the entire N metabolism in the plant into account, are needed to allow better inoculation results of cereal crops.  相似文献

The effects of radial O2 loss from roots on nitrification and NO inf3 sup- availability were studied. Plants of the flooding-resistant species Rumex palustris and the flooding-sensitive species Rumex thyrsiflorus were grown on drained and waterlogged soils with an initially high nitrifying capacity. Nitrate reductase activity in the plant leaves was used as an indicator of NO inf3 sup- availability to the plants. In a separate experiment these species were shown to have higher levels of nitrate reductase activity when NO inf3 sup- was added to the soils compared to when only NH inf4 sup+ was provided. In drained soils nitrification was maintained and both plant species showed relatively high nitrate reductase activities in their leaves. In the water-logged series planted with R. thyrsiflorus, nitrification was inhibited, NH inf4 sup+ accumulated, and the plants grew less well compared to those on drained soils. In contrast, waterlogged soils planted with R. palustris had a redox potential high enough for O2 to be continuously replenished. Furthermore, the nitrifying capacity of these latter soils was maintained at a high level. R. palustris grew well and NO inf3 sup- must have been available to the plant, since a high level of nitrate reductase activity was observed in the leaves.  相似文献

Ammonium（NH＋4） is the main nitrogen（N） form for rice crops, while NH＋4near the root surface can be oxidized to nitrate（NO-3）by NH＋4-oxidizing bacteria. Nitrate can be accumulated within rice tissues and reused when N supply is insufficient. We compared the remobilization of NO-3stored in the tissue and vacuolar between two rice（Oryza sativa L.） cultivars, Yangdao 6（YD6, indica）with a high N use efficiency（NUE） and Wuyujing 3（WYJ3, japonica） with a low NUE and measured the uptake of NO-3, expression of nitrate reductase（NR）, NO-3transporter genes（NRTs）, and NR activity after 4 d of N starvation following 7-d cultivation in a solution containing 2.86 mmol L-1NO-3. The results showed that both tissue NO-3concentration and vacuolar NO-3activity were higher in YD6 than WYJ3 under N starvation. YD6 showed a 2- to 3-fold higher expression of OsNRT2.1 in roots on the 1st and 4th day of N starvation and had significantly higher values of NO-3uptake（maximum uptake velocity, Vmax） than the cultivar WYJ3.Furthermore, YD6 had significantly higher leaf and root maximum NR activity（NRAmax） and actual NR activity（NRAact） as well as stronger root expression of the two NR genes after the 1st day of N starvation. There were no significant differences in NRAmax and NRAact between the two rice cultivars on the 4th day of N starvation. The results suggested that YD6 had stronger NRA under N starvation, which might result in better NO-3re-utilization from the vacuole, and higher capacity for NO-3uptake and use, potentially explaining the higher NUE of YD6 compared with WYJ3.  相似文献

Summary Wheat seedlings were inoculated with rhizosphere nitrogen-fixing bacteria and grown gnotobiotically for 15 days. The growth medium consisted of semisolid agar with or without plant nutrients. The bacteria, isolated from roots of field-grown wheat, were three unidentified Gram-negative rods (A1, A2, E1), one Enterobacter agglomerans (C1) and two Bacillus polymyxa (B1, B2). A strain of Azospirillum brasilense (USA 10) was included for comparison.Nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction activity, ARA) was tested on intact plants after 8 and 15 days of growth. In semisolid agar without plant nutrients, five isolates showed ARA of 0.01–0.9 nmol C2H4 plant–1 h–1, while the two strains of B. polymyxa had higher ARA of 3.3–10.6 nmol C2H4 plant–1 h–1.Plant development was not affected by inoculation with bacteria, except that inoculation with B. polymyxa resulted in shorter shoots and lower root weight.Transmission electronmicroscopy of roots revealed different degrees of infection. A. brasilense, A1 and A2, occurred mainly in the mucilage on the root surface and between outer epidermal cells (low infectivity). B. polymyxa strains and E1 were found in and between epidermal cells (intermediate infectivity) while E. agglomerans invaded the cortex and was occasionally found within the stele (high infectivity).  相似文献

Abstract

In the present study, the green synthesized Mo nanoparticles (NPs) were firstly prepared using vermicompost extracts and, then, two experiments were separately carried out in a completely randomized design. The first experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of ammonium nitrate (AN) on nitrate (NO3?) accumulation rates as well as some other vegetative traits in spinach in four treatments and three replicates and the second experiment was done to investigate the effects of elemental Mo and green synthesized Mo NPs on NO3? accumulation, nitrate reductase (NR) activity and some morphological parameters in seven treatments with three replicates. The results of the first experiment indicated that the greatest accumulation of NO3? in the aerial parts of the plants was observed in the 3?M AN treatment. That is why the same concentration was utilized in the second experiment to study the effects of elemental Mo and green synthesized Mo NPs on the NR activity, NO3? accumulation and the other traits. The results of the second experiment indicated that various concentrations of elemental Mo and green synthesized Mo NPs have significant effects on all measured traits including the fresh and dry weights of the plant, NO3? concentration, NR activity, chlorophyll a (Chl a) and chlorophyll b (Chl b) rates, total chlorophyll (Chl a?+?b) and the plant height. Moreover, it was found that the green synthesized Mo NPs, as compared to elemental Mo, have a greater effect on the increase of NR activity and, consequently, significant reduction of NO3? accumulation.

Following the prevalent agronomic practice of applying N fertilizer in two splits at optimum levels recommended for maximum yield viz. 120 kg N ha, to two wheat (Triticum aestlvum L.) cultivars, which differ in in vivo nitrate reductase (NR) activity, it was observed that the activity is high in the first formed leaf blades and declines in the successively formed ones. Enhancement in the activity subsequent to incubation of excised leaf blades in NO3 ‐ suggests that the substrate (NO‐ 3) is limiting and that the leaf blades, particularly the upper ones, have the potential to reduce additional amounts of NO3 ‐. High NR cultivar has greater potential than the low NR cultivar. The studies suggest that it may be possible to increase the NO3 ‐ moles reduced and thus enhance the reduced N content in case the nitrogen is available at later stages of growth.  相似文献

Summary Three field experiments with wheat were conducted in 1983, 1984, and 1985 in Terra Roxa soil in Paraná, the major Brazilian wheat-growing region, to study inoculation effects of various strains of Azospirillum brasilense and A. amazonense. In all three experiments inoculation with A. brasilense Sp 245 isolated from surface-sterilized wheat roots in Paraná produced the highest plant dry weights and highest N% in plant tops and grain. Grain yield increases with this strain were up to 31 % but were not significant. The application of 60 or 100 kg N ha–1 to the controls increased N accumulation and produced yields less than inoculation with this strain. Another A. brasilense strain from surface-sterilized wheat roots (Sp 107st) also produced increased N assimilation at the lower N fertilizer level but reduced dry weights at the high N level, while strain Sp 7 + Cd reduced dry weights and N% in the straw at both N levels. The A. amazonense strain isolated from washed roots and a nitrate reductase negative mutant of strain Sp 245 were ineffective. Strains Sp 245 and Sp 107st showed the best establishment within roots while strain Cd established only in the soil.  相似文献

Abstract

The influence of the nitrate nutritional status and increasing ammonium concentrations on the nitrate reductase activity of shoots and roots of Carex pseudocyperus L. was investigated. The activity of this enzyme was correlated with the relative growth rates of the plant. Nitrate reductase activity was determined by a modified in vivo test (1). A specially developed test system allowed a large amount of samples to be handled easily.

The optimization procedure of the incubation buffers led to different assay conditions for the shoot and the root, respectively. Enzyme activity in the shoot was dependent on the length of the incubated leaf pieces. Incubation had to take place under dark, anaerobic conditions.

Enzyme activity was influenced by an evident diurnal rhythm with an optimum six hours after starting illumination, so that harvesting occurred always at that day time.

Increasing nitrate concentrations of up to 2.5mM NO3‐ in the nutrient solution induced an increasing nitrate reductase activity in the shoot. The enzyme activity of the root was already fully induced at 1mM NO3 ?. A nitrate concentration above 5mM NO3 ? inhibited enzyme activity in shoots as well as in roots. The addition of increasing amounts of ammonium to a solution containing 2mM NO3 ? led to a significant inhibition of the enzyme activity in both parts of the plant.

Relative growth rates of the shoot, as a function of increasing nitrate concentrations in the nutrient solution, were highly positively correlated to the corresponding nitrate reductase activity, but only a slight, negative correlation was observed between these two parameters in the root.  相似文献

The enzyme kinetics of an immobilized arylsulfatase reactor were examined. We found that the optimum operating conditions for the reactor were pH 7.0 and 25°C, using p-nitrophenyl sulfate in acetate buffer. The Michaelis constant (K m) of immobilized arylsulfatase was 5.29 mM, compared with a K m of 2.18 mM for soluble arylsulfatase from the same source (Helix pomatia). Since arylsulfatase hydrolyzes organic ester sulfate linkages, the immobilized arylsulfatase reactor was used to examine ester sulfate compounds in two soils subjected to different fertility management schemes. Soil samples were obtained from the Ap horizons of a Podzol from S-amended wheat plots and a Regosol from dykeland hayfield plots which had received additions of NH4NO3 and compost. The distribution of S in these soils was examined in the fall of 1993 and the spring of 1994. Soil organic matter was extracted and separated into three molecular weight fractions (<500, 500–10 000, >10 000). There was no difference in the ester sulfate content for the >10 000 fraction of control and S-amended Podzol soils; however, the S-amended samples had significantly higher quantities of hydrolysable ester sulfates than controls for the 500–10 000 range, indicating that S amendments resulted in the incorporation of ester sulfate into this lower molecular weight fraction. Both control and NH4NO3 treatments to the Regosol showed significantly higher quantities of hydrolysable ester sulfates in the >10 000 fraction, while compostamended plots showed no difference between the >10 000 and 500–10 000 fractions due to suspected microbial degradation of high molecular weight organic S compounds in the compost. Since there was no significant effect of sampling time, this study indicated that naturally occurring low molecular weight ester sulfate compounds accumulate in soil and persist during storage. Hydrolysable ester sulfates constituted 35–55% of the hydriodic acid-reducible S in these different soils and probably represent an important and easily mineralizable portion of total ester sulfates.  相似文献

H2 uptake activity was well distributed in Rhizobium sp. strains isolated from nodules of mung-bean (Vigna radiata L.). Two effective strains, RMP1 und RMP2, exhibiting significantly higher H2 uptake activity were subjected to mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine. The respective mutation frequencies were 0.18 and 0.19%. Three Hup- mutants each of RMP1 und RMP2 were compared with the wild-type parent strains under pot culture experiments to evaluate the significance of the H2 uptake system in biological N2 fixation. Nodulation capabilities, plant growth characteristics, and the chlorophyll content of the leaves were significantly reduced in the plants treated with Hup- mutants. Nitrogenase activity in Hup- nodules was reduced by 8–41%. Similarly, N accumulation was also reduced singificantly.  相似文献

Glutamine synthetase and nitrate reductase enzyme activities occurred both in roots and leaves of maize (Zea mays L., hybrid Pioneer 3737) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cultivar Jantar) plants grown on different nitrogen (N) sources. Enzyme activities and plastid pigment content in maize plants were higher in the treatments with a mixture of nitrate (NO3) and ammonium (NH4) than with either N source alone. In wheat plants, plastid pigment content, nitrate reductase activity, and root glutamine snynthetase activity were higher in the treatments where NO3 alone was applied to the nutrient medium.  相似文献

The effects of 15N-labelled ammonium nitrate, urea and ammonium sulphate on yield and uptake of labelled and unlabelled N by wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Mexi-Pak-65) were studied in a field experiment. The dry matter and N yields were significantly increased with fertilizer N application compared to those from unfertilized soil. The wheat crop used 64.0–74.8%, 61.5–64.7% and 61.7–63.4% of the N from ammonium nitrate, urea and ammonium sulphate, respectively. The fertilizer N uptake showed that ammonium nitrate was a more available source of N for wheat than urea and ammonium sulphate. The effective use of fertilizer N (ratio of fertilizer N in grain to fertilizer N in whole plant) was statistically similar for the three N fertilizers. The application of fertilizer N increased the uptake of unlabelled soil N by wheat, a result attributed to a positive added N interaction, which varied with the method of application of fertilizer N. Ammonium nitrate, urea and ammonium sulphate gave 59.3%, 42.8% and 26.3% more added N interaction, respectively, when applied by the broadcast/worked-in method than with band placement. A highly significant correlation between soil N and grain yield, dry matter and added N interaction showed that soil N was more important than fertilizer N in wheat production. A values were not significantly correlated with added N interaction (r=0.719). The observed added N interaction may have been the result of pool substitution, whereby added labelled fertilizer N stood proxy for unlabelled soil N.  相似文献

Summary The response of the cotton plant to inoculation with six strains of Azospirillum brasilense was investigated under subtropical conditions in Egypt. Azospirilla populations and activities were increased as a result of root inoculation with liquid inoculum of Azospirillum sp. Highest C2H2 — reduction activities on roots were obtained with strains S631 and Sp Br 14 (means of 216.85 and 209.50 nmol C2H4g–1 root h–1 respectively) while strain M4 gave the lowest activity (mean of 100.8 nmol C2H4g–1 root h–1). Statistical analysis showed that Azospirillum strains 5631, Sp Br 14, E15 and SC22 significantly increased the plant dry weight and nitrogen uptake while inoculation with strains M4 and SE had no significant effect in that respect.  相似文献

The present study aimed at the assessment of carbon (C) costs for nitrate reduction by measuring the additional CO2 amounts released from roots of nitrate‐fed plants in comparison with urea‐fed plants. Only roots were suitable for these determinations, because nitrate reduction in illuminated shoots is fed nearly exclusively by reducing equivalents coming directly from photosynthetic processes. Therefore, in a first experiment, the sites of nitrate reduction were determined in nodule‐free broad bean (Vicia faba L.) and pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants grown in pots filled with quartz sand and supplied with KNO3. The extent of nitrate reduction in the various plant organs was determined by measuring in vitro nitrate reductase activity and in situ 15NO reduction. Only between 9% and 16% of nitrate were reduced in roots of German pea cultivars, whilst 52% to 65% were reduced in broad bean roots. Therefore, C costs of the process could be determined only in broad bean, using an additional pot experiment. The C costs amounted to about 4.76 mol C (mol N)–1 or 4 mg C (mg N)–1, similar to those measured earlier for N2 fixation. The high proportion of nitrate reduction in shoots of pea plants implies that only very little C is required for this nitrate fraction. This can explain the better root growth of nitrate‐nourished pea plants in comparison with N2‐fixing organisms, which need C compounds for N2 reduction in roots. Moreover, a different availability of photosynthates in roots of plant genotypes could explain physiologically the occurrence of “shoot and root reducers” in nature.  相似文献

Root activity and carbon metabolism in soils   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  
Summary Two different soils were amended with 14C-labelled plant material and incubated under controlled laboratory conditions for 2 years. Half the samples were cropped with wheat (Triticum aestivum) 10 times in succession. At flowering, the wheat was harvested and the old roots removed from the soil, so that the soil was continuously occupied by predominantly active root systems. The remaining samples were maintained without plants under the same conditions. During the initial stages of high microbial activity, due to decomposition of the labile compounds, the size of the total microbial biomass was comparable for both treatments, and the metabolic quotient (qCO2-C = mg CO2-C·mg–1 Biomass C·h–1) was increased by the plants. During the subsequent low-activity decomposition stages, after the labile compounds had been progressively mineralized, the biomass was multiplied by a factor of 2–4 in the presence of plants compared to the bare soils. Nevertheless, qCO2-C tended to reach similar low values with both treatments. The 14C-labelled biomass was reduced by the presence of roots and qCO2-14C was increased. The significance of these results obtained from a model experiment is discussed in terms of (1) the variation in the substrate originating from the roots and controlled by the plant physiology, (2) nutrient availability for plants and microorganisms, (3) soil biotic capacities and (4) increased microbial turnover rates induced by the roots.  相似文献

We studied the effects of 15N-labelled ammonium nitrate and urea on the yield and uptake of labelled and unlabelled N by wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Mexi-Pak-65) in a field experiment. The dry matter and N yields were significantly increased with fertilizer N application compared to those from unfertilized soil. The wheat crop used 33.6–51.5 and 30.5–40.9% of the N from ammonium nitrate and urea, respectively. Splitting the fertilizer N application had a significant effect on the uptake of fertilizer N by the wheat. The fertilizer N uptake showed that ammonium nitrate was a more available source of N for wheat than urea. The effective use of fertilizer N (ratio of fertilizer N in grain to fertilizer N in whole plant) was statistically similar for the two N fertilizers. The application of fertilizer N increased the uptake of unlabelled soil N by wheat, a result attributed to a positive added N interaction, which varied according to the fertilizer N split; six split applications gave the highest added N interaction compared to a single application or two split applications for both fertilizers. Ammonium nitrate gave 90.5, 33.5, and 48.5% more added N interaction than urea with one, two, and six split N applications. A values were not significantly correlated with the added N interaction (r=0.557). The observed added N interaction may have been the result of pool substitution, whereby added labelled fertilizer N replaced unlabelled soil N.  相似文献

Nitrogen (N), ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3?), is one of the key determinants for plant growth. The interaction of both ions displays a significant effect on their uptake in some species. In the current study, net fluxes of NH4+ and NO3? along the roots of Picea asperata were determined using a Non-invasive Micro-test Technology (NMT). Besides, we examined the interaction of NH4+ and NO3? on the fluxes of both ions, and the plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPases and nitrate reductase (NR) were taken into account as well. The results demonstrated that the maximal net NH4+ and NO3? influxes were detected at 13–15?mm and 8–10.5?mm from the root apex, respectively. Net NH4+ influx was significantly stimulated with the presence of NO3?, whereas NH4+ exhibited a markedly negative effect on NO3? uptake in the roots of P. asperata. Also, our results indicated that PM H+-ATPases and NR play a key role in the control of N uptake.  相似文献
