Allantoinase (allantoin amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.2.5) catalyses the hydrolysis of allantoin to allantoic acid, a key reaction in the biosynthesis and degradation of ureides. This activity was determined in different tissues of French bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) which were grown under
Nodulated tropical legumes such as French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) receive their nitrogen via N-fixing rhizobia. The principal products of fixed nitrogen are the ureides allantoin and allantoic acid that are synthesised in root nodules and then translocated to the mature leaves of the shoot via
In tropical legumes like French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) or soybean (Glycine max), most of the atmospheric nitrogen fixed in nodules is used for synthesis of the ureides allantoin and allantoic acid, the major long distance transport forms of organic nitrogen in these species. The purpose of this
Nodulated legumes receive their nitrogen via nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, which exist in a symbiotic relationship with the root system. In tropical legumes like French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) or soybean (Glycine max), most of the fixed nitrogen is used for synthesis of the ureides allantoin and
This paper expands upon previous reports of (15)N elevation in nodules (compared to other tissues) of N(2)-fixing plants. N(2)-Fixing nodules of Glycine max (soybeans), Vigna unguiculata (cowpea), Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean), Phaseolus coccineus (scarlet runner bean), Prosopis glandulosa
Two methods were developed for the detection of altered ureide metabolism in legume nodules. Both techniques are based on the positive correlation between the presence of high xanthine dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.37) specific activity in nodules and the ability of those nodules to produce the ureides,
