Abstract
Methionine sulfoximine caused ammonia accumulation and photosynthetic rate inhibition in leaf discs from the C4 spp. maize cv. F.M. Cross (Hybrid) and sorghum cv. NC-70X, as well as the C3 sp. Datura stramonium. Similar results were obtained earlier with the C3 sp. Spinacia oleracea. The effect occurred in the absence of inorganic N reduction and was light dependent. Ammonia accumulation rates were similar in all 4 spp. examined. The results support a role for glutamine synthetase in leaf ammonia recycling in both C4 and C3 leaves
