The effects of a two weeks soil drying period on the activity of nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.6) were studied on Helianthus annuus L. and non-nodulated Lupinus albus L. plants, growing under two nutrient supply regimes. NR activity was assessed in leaf and root extracts, by measuring the activity of the unphosphorylated active form (NRact), the maximal extractable activity (NRmax) and the activation state. T...
The effects of drought on the activity of nitrate reductase (NR) were studied in Helianthus annuus L. plants subjected to soil drying and subsequent rewatering. Drought did not negatively affect the activation state of NR, but resulted in linearly correlated decreases in the activity of the unphosphorilated active form and the total activity of NR, both in roots and leaves. The concentration of nitrate in roots...
