Reduced Activity of Nitrate Reductase Under Heavy Metal Cadmium Stress in Rice: An in silico Answer. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2018 Cadmium is a well known toxic heavy metal, which has various detrimental effects on plant system. In plants an important enzyme involved in the production of nitric oxide, nitrate reductase, is also affected by cadmium toxicity. According to many studies

Isoform-Specific NO Synthesis by Arabidopsis thaliana Nitrate Reductase. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2019 Nitrate reductase (NR) is important for higher land plants, as it catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the nitrate assimilation pathway, the two-electron reduction of nitrate to nitrite.

In vitro Nitrate Reductase Activity Assay of Mycolicibacterium smegmatis Crude Extract. [PDF]
Bio Protoc, 2021 Nitrate is one of the major inorganic nitrogen sources for microorganisms. Many bacterial and archaeal lineages can express cytoplasmic assimilatory nitrate reductase (NAS), which catalyzes the rate-limiting reduction of nitrate to nitrite in the nitrate

Role of Nitrate Reductase in NO Production in Photosynthetic Eukaryotes. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2019 Nitric oxide is a gaseous secondary messenger that is critical for proper cell signaling and plant survival when exposed to stress. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in plants, under standard phototrophic oxygenic conditions, has long been a very controversial

The indica nitrate reductase gene OsNR2 allele enhances rice yield potential and nitrogen use efficiency. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 The indica and japonica rice (Oryza sativa) subspecies differ in nitrate (NO3−) assimilation capacity and nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE). Here, we show that a major component of this difference is conferred by allelic variation at OsNR2, a gene ...

Mycobacterium smegmatis does not display functional redundancy in nitrate reductase enzymes. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 Reduction of nitrate to nitrite in bacteria is an essential step in the nitrogen cycle, catalysed by a variety of nitrate reductase (NR) enzymes. The soil dweller, Mycobacterium smegmatis is able to assimilate nitrate and herein we set out to confirm the

Exploration of Nitrate Reductase Metabolic Pathway in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. [PDF]
Int J Genomics, 2017 Based on the ability of nitrate reductase synthesis, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is classified into two biovars: Ovis and Equi. Due to the presence of nitrate reductase, the Equi biovar can survive in absence of oxygen.

Molecular Screening of Nitrate Reductase Enzyme in Native Halophilic Bacteria of Iran [PDF]
Journal of Cell and Molecular Research, 2021 With the increased usage of nitrate fertilizers, the removal of their stable ionic and water-soluble end products is a challenge for human health. Several physicochemical methods have been examined for nitrate removal of water, but biological treatments ...
