Abstract
Nitrate reductase( NR) is the key enzyme of nitrogen metabolism. It is very useful for plant nutrition or getting fertilizer,and very useful for breeding of variety. The characteristics of NR activity response were tested by not only traditional adding NO-3into the non-N cultures but also adding NO-3into different forms of N cultures. The NR activities in Capsicum annuum,Beassica pekinensis,Raphanus sativus,Zea mays,Brassica campestris were increased significantly by adding NO-3into the non-N cultures,and the NR activity was zero in the control of Capsicum annuum.Whatever or not adding NO-3into the non-N cultures,the NR activities were zero in Lycopersicon esculintum and were high in Triticum aestivum,but no difference was found between control and treatment. The NR activities of Lycopersicon esculintum and Triticum aestivum were increased significantly by adding NO-3into the NH+4-N cultures. Whatever in the NH+4-N cultures and NO-3-N cultures,NR activities could be tested in the control of Capsicum annuum and Triticum aestivum,and the NR activities were zero in the control of Lycopersicon esculintum. The results mentioned above indicated that the response of NR activities was significant different among plant species to either adding NO-3or different form of N cultures,which proved that the response of the NR activities were often characteristic of the species. These results would be most instructive in agricultural practice. Moreover,such experiment would improve the interesting of students in the process of the science researches and scientific exploration,which would be helpful for teaching reform.
