Journal ArticleDOI
Ureide metabolism in higher plants
TL;DR: The evidence that light appears to be involved in ureide assimilation in green tissues suggests that different regulatory mechanisms may exist in plants compared with micro-organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Nitrate and Ammonia on Photosynthetic Characteristics and Leaf Anatomy of Moricandia arvensis

TL;DR: The results indicate that the substantial activity of PEP carboxylase, incorporation of CO(2) into malate, the high malate content, and in part the relatively low CO( 2) compensation point in Moricandia arvensis may be accounted for by metabolism of nitrate rather than by a state of C(3)-C(4) intermediacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Assimilation of Ureides in Shoot Tissues of Soybeans: 1. CHANGES IN ALLANTOINASE ACTIVITY AND UREIDE CONTENTS OF LEAVES AND FRUITS
TL;DR: With development, peaks in the amounts of allantoic acid, but not allantoin, were measured in both leaves and fruits suggesting that the assimilation of allantonic acid may be a limiting factor in ureide assimilation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allantoinase from shoot tissues of soybeans
TL;DR: Allantoinase, catalysing the hydrolysis of allantoin to allantoic acid, was isolated from leaves and fruits of soybeans and it was found that the enzyme was only partially hydrolyzed.
