ABSTRACT

This paper is aimed to study the effects of nitrogen form on the growth and quality of Chrysanthemums morifolium at the same nitrogen level. In order to provide references for nutrition regulation of Ch. morifolium in field production, pot experiments were carried out in the greenhouse at experimental station of Nanjing Agricultural University. Five proportions of ammonium and nitrate nitrogen were set up and a randomized block design was applied four times repeatedly. The results showed that the growth and quality of Ch. morifolium were significantly influenced by the nitrogen form. The content of chlorophyll and photosynthesis rate were the highest at the NH4(+) -N /NO3(-) -N ratio of 25:75; The activities of NR in different parts of Ch. -morifolium reached the highest at the NH4(+) - N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 0: 100. The contents of nitrate nitrogen in the root and leaves reached the highest at the NH4(+) -N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 50:50. The activities of GS, GOGAT and the content of amylum increased with the ratio of NO3(-) -N decreasing and reached it's maximum at the NH4 + -N/NO3 - -N ratio of 100: 0. The content of ammonium nitrogen were the highest at the NH4 + -N /NO3 --N ratio of 75: 25, while the content of soluble sugar reached the highest at the NH4(+)-N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 25: 75. The content of flavones, chlorogenic acid and 3,5-O-dicoffeoylqunic acid were 57.2 mg x g(-1), 0.673% and 1.838% respectively, reaching the maximum at the NH4(+) -N /NO3(-) -N ratio of 25:75; The content of luteoloside increased with the ratio of NO3(-) -N increasing and reached it's maximum at the NH4(+) -N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 0: 100. The yield of Ch. morifolium reached it's maximum at the NH4(+) -N /NO3(-) -N ratio of 25:75. Nitrogen form has some remarkable influence on the nitrogen metabolism, photosynthesis and growth, Nitrogen form conducive to the growth and quality of Ch. morifolium at the NH4(+) -N /NO3(-) -N ratio of 25: 75.

ABSTRACT

Mercury (0.01-1.0 mM) inhibited chlorophyll formation in greening maize leaf segments. However, supplementing incubation medium with 2-oxoglutarate, maintained substantially higher level of chlorophyll in absence of metal after an initial period of 8 hr. On preincubation of leaf segments with HgCl2, per cent inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis by metal was same in the presence and absence of 2-oxoglutarate. Supply of 2-oxoglutarate (0.1-10.0 mM) exerted concentration dependent effect on chlorophyll formation in absence or presence of metal. Increase in delta-amino levulinic acid dehydratase as well as NADH-glutamate synthase activity and decrease in NADH-glutamate dehydrogenase activity by 2-oxoglutarate in the presence of Hg suggested that glutamate for delta-amino levulinic acid synthesis could be made available from NH4+ assimilation via., glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase pathway during mercury toxicity.

ABSTRACT

A cDNA library of Plasmodium falciparum (Colombian strain FCB2) asexual stage was constructed in the lambda ZipLox vector. The lambda ZipLox library and a lambda ZAPII (Dd2 strain) were screened for genes coding for proteins that bind with or are related to calmodulin (CaM). Screening was accomplished with Hot start PCR assays and hybridization with radiolabeled probes. Actin I, CaM, glutamate synthase (GOGAT) and the three myosin clones--Pfmyo A, Pfmyo B and Pfmyo C--were identified. The clones coding for actin I, CaM and GOGAT were retrieved from the lambda ZipLox library, and the GOGAT and Pfmyo A clones from the lambda ZAP II library. The GOGAT clone contained an insert of 2,413 base pairs corresponding to 24.8 of the reported sequence. The Pfmyo A insert was 2,457 base pairs long, and represented the complete mRNA coding for this gene. Finally, the first report of a complete cDNA clone containing the P. falciparum myosin A is presented.

ABSTRACT

Lead decreased the growth rates, total cell mass, heterocyst frequency, total cell protein, nitrogenase activity, glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT) activities in N:muscorum. However, lead at 0.01 and 10 micrograms ml-1 conc. enhanced nitrogenase as well as GS activity of the cells. On transfer to excess lead (100 micrograms ml-1), nitrogenase and GS activities ceased almost after 24 hr in the cyanobacterium. It is deduced that lead has a two step effect on stimulation and inhibition of metabolic activity at 0.01 and 10 micrograms ml-1 concentration and 0.1 and 100 micrograms ml-1 concentration respectively indicating a close interaction between nitrogen fixation and GS activity. However, GOGAT activity is an exception to this two step stimulation and inhibition process.
