NADH-specific and NAD(P)H bispecific nitrate reductases are present in barley (Hordeum vulgareL.). Wild-type leaves have only the NADH-specific enzyme while mutants with defects in the NADH nitrate reductase structural gene (nar1) have the NAD(P)H bispecific enzyme. A mutant deficient in the NAD(P)H nitrate reductase was isolated in a line (nar1a) deficient in the NADH nitrate reductase structural gene. The double mutant (nar1a;nar7w) lacks NAD(P)H nitrate reductase activity and has xanthine dehydrogenase and nitrite reductase activities similar tonar1a. NAD(P)H nitrate reductase activity in this mutant is controlled by a single codominant gene designatednar7. Thenar7 locus appears to be the NAD(P)H nitrate reductase structural gene and is not closely linked tonar1. From segregating progeny of a cross between the wild type andnar1a;nar7w, a line was obtained which has the same NADH nitrate reductase activity as the wild type in both the roots and leaves but lacks NADPH nitrate reductase activity in the roots. This line is assumed to have the genotypeNar1Nar1nar7nar7. Roots of wild type seedlings have both nitrate reductases as shown by differential inactivation of the NADH and NAD(P)H nitrate reductases by a monospecific NADH-nitrate reductase antiserum. Thus,nar7 controls the NAD(P)H nitrate reductase in roots and in leaves of barley.
