Abstract
The nitrate assimilatory pathway has been the matter of intensive gene tic and molecular analysis over the past decade. This review will deal with studies that were performed on the first 3 steps of the pathway, namely nitrate uptake, nitrate reduction and nitrite reduction. A lar ge part of this review will focus on the complex regulation of this pa thway and on recent results obtained on transcriptional and post-trans criptional mechanisms governing the expression of the key proteins und er different physiological conditions.
