The below mentioned article provides a short note on reductase synthesis. Ammonia produced after nitrogen fixation is either immediately converted to organic nitrogen or to nitrate by nitrifying bacteria like Nitrosomonas in soil. The nitrates are then taken up by the plants and reduced to ammonia by a series of enzymes involving eight electrons transfer […]

Early workers believed that inorganic salts were passively carried into the plant through diffusion with the absorption of water and further assumed that the translocation of the absorbed salts to different parts of the plant was dependent on transpiration. It is known that certain ions may attain a higher concentration in the cell sap of […]

Until recently, the reductive amination of 2-oxoglutarate catalyzed by the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase has been considered as the main reaction of ammonia assimilation in plants. Now there is convincing evidence that most of the inorganic nitrogen available to a plant is incorporated into the amide amino group of glutamine via the enzyme glutamine synthetase (L-glutamate […]
