nicotinamide/glycine max

A soluble enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of the methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the nitrogen atom of pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (nicotinic acid) could be detected in protein preparations from heterotrophic cell suspension cultures of soybean (Glycine max L.). Enzyme activity was

Nicotinate has been postulated to interfere with the binding of O(2) to ferrous leghemoglobin in soybean (Glycine max) root nodules. For such a function, the levels of nicotinate in nodules must be sufficiently high to bind a significant amount of leghemoglobin. We have measured levels of

Cells of a soybean tissue strain suspended in an aerated liquid medium caused the disappearance of p-coumaric acid from the medium. The rate of disappearance was modified by cytokinins. When the coumarate and the cytokinin were added to the medium simultaneously, disappearance was increased if the

Cells of a soybean tissue strain, suspended in an aerated liquid medium, caused disappearance of p-coumaric acid from the medium and oxidation of guaiacol, benzidine, pyrogallol, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and L-epinephrine. Both the disappearance and the oxidations were inhibited by

The rate of ascorbate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide plus hydrogen (NADH) cooxidation (i.e., their nonenzymic oxidation by peroxidase/H2O2-generated phenoxyl radicals of three hydroxycinnamates: caffeate, ferulate and p-coumarate) was studied in vitro. The reactions initiated by different

The aim of this study was to reveal the pyridine metabolism in leaves of two mangrove legumes, Derris indica (= Millettia pinnata or Pongamia pinnata) and Caesalpinia crista. Radioactivity from [carbonyl-14C]nicotinamide supplied exogenously to young leaf disks was recovered in nicotinic acid,

Enzymatic regulation of pyricline nucleotide formation, under symbiotic and non-symbiotic conditions, was analyzed using soybeans (Glycine max L. cv. 'Akisengoku') and rhizobia (Bradyrhizobia japonicum strain A1017), respectively. It was found that levels of pyridine nucleotides in bacteroids in

Senescence of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) tap root nodules was investigated by comparing changes in various physiological and biochemical activities with changes in capacity to fix nitrogen. Field-grown Beeson and Calland varieties of soybeans of various ages were sources of tap root nodules.

The ability of eight species of plants to assimilate 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was investigated. Glycine max (soybean), in particular, demonstrated rapid assimilation of high concentrations of this explosive. Penetration and localization of [1-(14)C]-TNT in plant root cells and leaves were studied

In order to distinguish the pathways involved in the oxidation of matrix NADH in plant mitochondria, the oxidation of NADH and nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide (reduced form) was investigated in submitochondrial particles prepared from beetroot (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Derwent Globe) and soybeans
