M. Rouby et al., REGULATION OF NITRATE REDUCTASE-ACTIVITY BY NITRATE DURING LIGHT-DARKTRANSITION IN DETACHED OAT LEAVES, Plant and Cell Physiology, 36(7), 1995, pp. 1399-1403
In oat (A vena sativa L. cv. Suregrain) leaf segments, light-dark modu
lation of nitrate reductase (NR) activity could be observed only when
segments were kept in -NO3 conditions. We present here evidence that n
itrate would regulate NR activity by modulating the phosphorylation st
atus of the enzyme.
