Nitrate Reduction by Roots of Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Seedlings

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Studies were conducted with 9 to 12 day-old soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Williams) seedlings to determine the contribution of roots to whole plant NO3− reduction. Using an in vivo -NO3− nitrate reductase (NR) assay (no exogenous NO3− added to incubation medium) developed for roots, the roots accounted for approximately 30% of whole plant nitrate reductase activity (NRA) of plants grown on 15 mm NO3−.
