- W4237473444 abstract "Weissman, Gerard S. (Rutgers U., Camden, N. J.) Influence of ammonium and nitrate on the protein- and amino acids in shoots of wheat seedlings. Amer. Jour. Bot. 46(5): 339–346. 1959.—Total and protein nitrogen per shoot of wheat seedlings grown with endosperm attached increased at a steady rate during a 96-hr. growth period, and protein nitrogen, as a percentage of total nitrogen, remained constant at about 53%. Total and protein nitrogen concentration was greatest for 24-hr. shoots and declined as the shoots became older. Total and protein nitrogen were determined in 96-hr. shoots of seedlings grown with endosperm attached but also supplied with ammonium, nitrate, or both in the culture solution. Total nitrogen was greatest in shoots supplied with ammonium, but only 38% was in the form of protein. Maximum protein synthesis occurred in shoots grown in both ammonium and nitrate and protein nitrogen as a percentage of total nitrogen approximated that achieved in shoots lacking nitrogen in the culture solution. The protein amino acid composition of 48-, 72-, and 96-hr. shoots was very similar but differed from 24-hr. shoots which contained higher percentages of arginine and lysine and lower percentages of alanine and threonine. This may be correlated with the higher proportion of meristematic cells in 24-hr. shoots. The protein amino acids in shoots grown with ammonium resembled that of shoots lacking nitrogen in the culture solution, but nitrate shoot protein contained a higher percentage of arginine and a lower percentage of lysine. Nitrate may stimulate the formation of enzymes, possibly of a nitrate-reducing system, with high arginine- low lysine content. Free asparagine and glutamine were both at a maximum in ammonium shoots and at a minimum in nitrate shoots, but asparagine predominated in shoots supplied with ammonium while glutamine was greatest in nitrate shoots. Aspartic acid, asparagine, and glutamine appeared to have ammonia-storage functions, but glutamic acid appeared to be primarily concerned with protein synthesis. Amino acid accumulation was greatest in shoots supplied with both ammonium and nitrate. Protein synthesis in these appeared to be limited by inadequate concentrations of glutamic acid and proline. A hypothesis is proposed in explanation of the high glutamic acid concentration in shoots provided with ammonium and nitrate." @default.
