Following development of an in vitro assay, a NADH/NADPH bispecific ni
trate reductase stable for at least a month at 4 degrees C, and thermo
stable at temperatures to at least 60 degrees C, has been identified i
n crude and partially-purified extracts of leaves and roots of kiwifru
it (Actinidia deliciosa). Stability characteristics were not confined
to kiwifruit, but were found to extend to other members of the genus a
lso.
