Abstract
In this study, the total and actual nitrate reductase (NR) activity, and NR activation state, in tomato seedlings ( Solanum lycopersicum cvs. Kmicic and Faworyt) treated with okadaic acid (OA) was evaluated. Seedlings were grown in a half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium in a growth chamber at day/night temperatures of 22/20 °C, a photon flux density of 150 µmol m -2 s -1 , and a 16-h photoperiod. After 10 days, plants were transferred into MS medium with 0 (control), 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 µM OA. It was found that the total and actual NR activity increased in Kmicic leaves treated with 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 µM OA compared to control. However, the NR activation state did not change in both roots and leaves of OA-treated tomato seedlings.
期刊介绍:
BIOLOGIA PLANTARUM is an international journal for experimental botany. It publishes original scientific papers and brief communications, reviews on specialized topics, and book reviews in plant physiology, plant biochemistry and biophysics, physiological anatomy, ecophysiology, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, evolution, and pathophysiology. All papers should contribute substantially to the current level of plant science and combine originality with a potential general interest. The journal focuses on model and crop plants, as well as on under-investigated species.
