Figure 1. Primary reactions in the assimilation of NO,-. A, NO3-+ Gln; B, potential fates of Gln and glutamate. In some of the reactions listed in B, NH4+ may substitute for Gln, eg in the synthesis of Asn, carbamoylphosphate, or glutamate. In these alternative reactions distinct gene products are also required. accumulation of tissue Nos-, which is reduced when photorespiration is inhibited, suggests that the true in vivo reduction of Nos-is inhibited either directly or indirectly by a product or products resulting from photorespiration, and that the NR activity as measured by the usual in vitro and in vivo methods reflects levels of tissue NO3-and not necessarily the hue in vivo capacity for the reduction of NO3-. In other words, the total leve1 of NR protein induced by NO3-is not necessarily expressed as NR activity in situ. According to current research, variable amounts of that protein are in an active form at any one time (see Lillo, 1994). Thi; activation potential of NR could be one reason for the poor correlations found between yield and nitrogen additions in Hageman's experiments (Hageman and Lambert, 1988).
