Generation of Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide for Nitrate Reduction in Green Leaves 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

An in vivo assay of nitrate reductase activity was developed by vacuum infiltration of leaf discs or sections with a solution of 0.2 m KNO3 (with or without phosphate buffer, pH 7.5) and incubation of the infiltrated tissue and medium under essentially anaerobic conditions in the dark. Nitrite production, for computing enzyme activity, was determined on aliquots of the incubation media, removed at intervals.
