The Regulation of Nitrate Reductases in Response to Abiotic Stress in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
The two homologous genes, NIA1 and NIA2, encode nitrate reductases in Arabidopsis, which govern the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. This step is the rate-limiting step of the nitrate assimilation and utilization.

Post-Translational Modifications of Nitrate Reductases Autoregulates Nitric Oxide Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) is a regulator of growth, development, and stress responses in living organisms. Plant nitrate reductases (NR) catalyze the reduction of nitrate to nitrite or, alternatively, to NO.

A dual functional redox enzyme maturation protein for respiratory and assimilatory nitrate reductases in bacteria. [PDF]
Nitrate is available to microbes in many environments due to sustained use of inorganic fertilizers on agricultural soils and many bacterial and archaeal lineages have the capacity to express respiratory (Nar) and assimilatory (Nas) nitrate reductases to

Loss of nitrate reductases NIA1 and NIA2 impairs stomatal closure by altering genes of core ABA signaling components in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Nitrate reductases NIA1 and NIA2 determine NO production in plants and are critical to abscisic acid (ABA)-induced stomatal closure. However, the role for NIA1 and NIA2 in ABA signaling has not been paid much attention in nitrate reductase loss-of ...

Nitrate-reducing iron(II) oxidation (NRFO) has been intensively reported in various bacteria. Iron(II) oxidation is found to be involved in both enzymatic and chemical reactions in nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing microorganisms (NRFOMs).

Characteristics of a Nitrate Reductase in a Barley Mutant Deficient in NADH Nitrate Reductase [PDF]
A barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutant, nar1a (formerly Az12), deficient in NADH nitrate reductase activity is, nevertheless, capable of growth with nitrate as the sole nitrogen source. In an attempt to identify the mechanism(s) of nitrate reduction in the mutant, nitrate reductase from nar1a was characterized to determine whether the residual activity ...

Rhizobium etli Produces Nitrous Oxide by Coupling the Assimilatory and Denitrification Pathways
More than two-thirds of the powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soils can be attributed to microbial denitrification and nitrification processes.

Although the nitrate assimilation into amino acids in photosynthetic leaf tissues is active under the light, the studies during 1950s and 1970s in the dark nitrate assimilation provided fragmental and variable activities, and the mechanism of reductant ...

Cloning and nitrate induction of nitrate reductase mRNA [PDF]
Nitrate is the major source of nitrogen taken from the soil by higher plants but requires reduction to ammonia prior to incorporation into amino acids. The first enzyme in the reducing pathway is a nitrate-inducible enzyme, nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1).
