Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Glucose had no effect on initial nitrate reductase induction in corn root tips and mature sections.
- Intervention effect At longer times, glucose increased nitrate reductase activity in both corn root segments.
- Observation Mature corn root sections required higher nitrate concentrations for saturation.
- Observation Corn root glucose response occurred across a wide range of external nitrate concentrations.
- Intervention effect Nitrate reductase activity was rapidly lost after nitrate withdrawal.
- Intervention effect Glucose did not prevent nitrate reductase activity loss after nitrate withdrawal.
- Intervention effect Glucose had no effect on total nitrate uptake by corn root segments.
- Intervention effect Glucose increased anaerobic nitrite production in corn root tips and mature segments.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that glucose alters nitrate distribution within corn root sections.
