Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to "elucidate the mechanisms by which CAM [C4 acid metabolism] activity and nitrate assimilation were occured markedly in P. oleracea stems while its leaves had little CAM activity under the natural condition." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "naturally grown P. oleracea plants were sampled from a field in May [1994]. They were potted, and transferred to an open air place near the laboratory and grown for 4 weeks before experimental use." Reports that "acidity level in stems increased gradually during the night, at dawn it dropped a temporary measure and became higher remarkably till 9:00 A.M. In contrast, the acidity of deliated stems increased gradually through the night and even after dawn, and did not show a rapid increase in the morning." Concludes that "the levels of nitrate concentration and of nitrate reductase, nitrate reductase, glutamine, synthesase, glutamate synthase and glutamate dehydrogenase were higher in stems than in leaves. The levels were also higher in the light than in the dark. It would be suggested that cosiderable [considerable] amount of nitrate absorbed from roots be assimilated in stems and nitrate transferred to leaves via stem tissues be reduced there."
