STUDIES ON NITRATE REDUCTASE IN Mangifera indica L.

T V Ananta narayana, Elias K Chacko

Abstract


An investigation has been made into the properties of nitrate reductase in a typic al tree spccies  like Mangifera indica. The effect of growth regulators on the induction of the enzyme has been studied SR activity exhibited a decline with leaf ontogenesis. Mango leaf has a much higher nitrate reducinggential than other tropical fruit plants like banana and guava. Nitrite reductase activity has alsob ittm demonstrated in mango leaf.

Keywords
