Abstract: In maize leaves nitrogen (N)-deprivation induced a significant decline of chlorophyl and total N contents. On the contrary, sulphur (S) content increased with N-deprivation. The activities of ATP-sulphurylase and O-acetylserine sulphydrylase also decreased with N-deprivation, but ATP-sulphurylase activity was more sensitive than O-acetylserine sulphydrylase activity to N-deficiency both in whole leaf extracts and in isolated leaf cells. Finally, N-deprivation induced higher changes in activity of the two enzymes in mesophyll protoplasts than in bundle sheath strands. |
