Mechanisms of Nitrogen Use in Maize (2019, background): “Within plants, ammonium is incorporated into amino acids through glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase [68].”
Glutamate dehydrogenase in plants: is there a new story for an old enzyme? (2003, unknown): “Both the discovery of plastidic ferredoxin-dependent GOGAT and the demonstration that most of the ammonium is assimilated or reassimilated through the GS/GOGAT cycle have allowed to demonstrate that this pathway is the major route allowing the incorporation of inorganic N into organic molecules in p”
Nitrogen Assimilation and its Relevance to Crop Improvement (2010, background): “Both forms of glutamate synthase are localized in plastids, as established by direct measurement of the enzyme activity (Lea & Miflin, 2003) or via immunolocalization studies (Cánovas et al., 2007; Tabuchi et al., 2007).”
Heavy Metal Tolerance in Plants: Role of Transcriptomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics, and Ionomics (2016, background): “The heavy metal Cd has been reported to affect nitrogen metabolism by inhibiting nitrate uptake and transportation, nitrate reductase, and GS activity (Hernández et al., 1997; Lea and Miflin, 2004), thereby affecting primary N assimilation processes.”
Heterotrophic cultures of microalgae: metabolism and potential products. (2011, background): “However, the evidence suggests an important role for GDH as a catabolic shunt to ensure that nitrogen metabolism does not affect mitochondrial function and to enable synthesis of nitrogen-rich transport compounds during nitrogen remobilization (Lea and Miflin, 2003).”
Integrating micro-algae into wastewater treatment: A review. (2021, background): “In fact, evidence suggests its main role is to catabolise glutamate, which returns the carbon from the amino acid (Lea and Miflin, 2003).”
