azetidine 2 carboxylic acid/zea mays

Exposure to 1 millimolar ammonium pretreatments increased V(max) for phosphorous uptake in dark-grown decapitated maize seedlings without a statistically measurable change in K(m). Sulfate uptake also was stimulated. The stimulation in phosphorous uptake due to ammonium pretreatment was greater in

When amino acids or ammonia are added to plant systems, the effects on the development of nitrate-dependent nitrate reductase activity are variable. In addition, amino acids added singly or as casein hydrolysate may not support a normal growth. A physiologically correct mixture of amino acids, one

The effect of anoxia on subsequent uptake and transport of K, Rb, and Na was examined with seedlings of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), corn (Zea mays L.), and tall fescue (Lolium x Festuca hybrid derivative) to further our understanding of xylem loading. Roots were incubated in solutions depleted of

The toxicity of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (A2C), a structural analogue of L-proline, results from its incorporation into proteins due to misrecognition by prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS). The growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedling roots is more sensitive to inhibition by A2C than is cotyledon
