Abstract
Pre-incubation of nitrate from sorghum seedlings with NADH increased enzyme activity by 25%. Ferricyanide had no effect. NADH protected the enzyme from inactivation during storage. Malonate inhibited in vivo nitrate reduction in sorghum leaves by 95%. The inhibitory effect of malonate was reversed by fumarate. NaF in the presence of phosphate also inhibited in vivo nitrate reduction by 60%. It was suggested that NADH generated via the citric acid cycle is utilized for nitrate reduction in sorghum seedlings
