Ureide biosynthesis in legume nodules

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2004
In tropical legumes like Glycine, Phaseolus and Vigna sp., ammonia as direct product of symbiotic nitrogen fixation is converted to ureides (allantoin and allantoic acid) and they were translocated to the shoots as nitrogen source. In the xylem sap of soybean in reproductive phase the ureides reached to 60-75% of soluble nitrogen.

Ureide catabolism in nitrogen-fixing legumes

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1988
Abstract The ureides, allantoin and allantoate, are the major nitrogen transport compounds in certain N 2 -fixing legumes. A novel pathway of allantoate catabolism that releases 4NH 3 , 2CO 2 and glyoxylate from allantoate, independent of urease action, has been proposed for soybeans.

Ureides and Enzymes of Ureide Synthesis in Flax (Linum usitatissimum) Plants and Seeds

Journal of Plant Physiology, 1994
Summary Xanthine oxidoreductase exhibiting a superoxide producing activity (Xanthine: O 2 Oxidoreductase, EC 1.2.3.2), uricase (Urate: O 2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.7.3.3), allantoinase (EC 3.5.2.5) and ureides were detected in leaves, stems, roots and seeds of flax plants.

Ureide metabolism in higher plants

Phytochemistry, 1981
Abstract The synthesis, transport and assimilation of the ureides, allantoin and allantoic acid, in higher plants is reviewed. Evidence indicates that in nodulated legumes ureides are synthesized from products of N2-fixation via purine synthesis and degradation.

Simple estimate of ureides in soybean tissue

Analytical Biochemistry, 1982
Abstract Extracts of soybean tissue are treated with an acidic cation-exchange resin to remove amino acids. The sample is treated with hypochlorite, pH 4.0, to convert the amide from allantoic acid or allantoin to products that react with alkaline phenol to form indophenol. The procedure is inexpensive, sensitive, and rapid. The method may be adapted

Ureide biogenesis in leguminous plants

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1982
Abstract Allantion and allantoic acid are the predominant forms of organic nitrogen produced by N-fixing nodules of some important legume species. Only recently has the significance and biosynthetic origin of these substances in leguminous plants been realized.
