Supply of 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 mM nitrate to detached roots, scutella or shoots from 5- to 6-d-old Zea mays seedlings increased in vitro nitrate reductase (NR) activity in all the organs and NADPH specific NR (NADPH:NR) activity in roots and scutella but not in the shoots. Usually 2 to 5 mM nitrate supported maximum enzyme activity, the higher concentration did not increase it further. The protein content in the roots, scutella and shoots increased up to 5, 2 and 20 mM medium nitrate, respectively. Nitrate uptake also increased with increasing nitrate concentration in roots and shoots, but it increased only slightly in the scutella.
