malic enzyme/glycine max

The aim of this work was to determine the maximum catalytic activity and intracellular location of NADP(+)-linked malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) in C3 plants. Appreciable activities, ranging from 80 to 712 nmol · (gFW)(-1) · min(-1), were found in a wide range of tissues (roots and leaves of Pisum

The enzymatic capacity for metabolism of poly-(beta)-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) has been examined in nitrogen-fixing symbioses of soybean (Glycine max L.) plants, which may accumulate substantial amounts of PHB, and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants, which contain little or no PHB. In the free-living

The regulation of alternative oxidase activity by the effector pyruvate was investigated in soybean (Glycine max L.) mitochondria using developmental changes in roots and cotyledons to vary the respiratory capacity of the mitochondria. Rates of cyanide-insensitive oxygen uptake by soybean root

Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCase) from several plants had substantially greater activity in extracts from lightexposed leaves than dark leaves, even when the extracts were incubated in vitro with saturating HCO(3) (-) and Mg(2+) concentrations. This occurred in Glycine max,

Soybean (Glycine max) seeds store significant amounts of their biomass as protein, levels of which reflect the carbon and nitrogen received by the developing embryo. The relationship between carbon and nitrogen supply during filling and seed composition was examined through a series of
