Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plants and a major limiting factor for plant
growth and crop production. Nitrate is the main source of N available to plants in agricultural …

Reduction of nitrate to ammonium by catalysis using nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase
enzymes characterizes nitrate assimilation. Nitrate assimilation is an important function of …

Mutant plants defective in the assimilation of nitrate can be selected by their resistance to the
herbicide chlorate. In Arabidopsis thaliana, mutations at any one of nine distinct loci confer …

We have examined codon bias in 207 plant gene sequences collected from Genbank and
the literature. When this sample was further divided into 53 monocot and 154 dicot genes …

Transposable elements can be identified by their ability to induce mutant alleles at new loci.
The retrotransposon family is thought to transpose through an RNA intermediate and has …

The effect of applying brassinosteroids to seeds on growth, pigment levels and nitrate
reductase activity of rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants grown on saline substratum was …

The nitrate reductase structural gene of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been isolated from
a genomic library by using a nitrate reductase cDNA probe from barley. Restriction fragment …

The nitrate assimilatory pathway has been the matter of intensive genetic and molecular
analysis over the past decade. Mutants impaired in the expression of nitrate reductase have …

Nitrate reductase (EC 1.6. 6.1) is an enzyme found in most higher plants and appears to be
a key regulator of nitrate assimilation as a result of enzyme induction by nitrate. The …
