Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Nitrate reduced nodule nitrogenase activity during days 0–2.
- Intervention effect Nitrate reduced nodule nitrogenase-linked respiration during days 0–2.
- Intervention effect Nitrate increased the carbon cost of nitrogenase during days 0–2.
- Observation Early nitrate response showed no apparent oxidative damage.
- Observation The early nitrogenase decline was partly reversible.
- Observation After two days, nitrate response became essentially irreversible senescence.
- Observation Oxidized proteins and catalytic iron increased in late nitrate-induced senescence.
- Observation Antioxidant enzymes and metabolites decreased in late nitrate-induced senescence.
- Mechanism Restricted oxygen supply to bacteroids may explain initial nitrogenase decline.
- Mechanism Antioxidant protection decline is not involved in initial nitrogenase decline.
- Observation Antioxidant protection decline also occurred with drought stress.
- Observation Nitrate senescence showed no lipid degradation.
- Observation Nitrate senescence showed no lipid peroxide accumulation.
- Mechanism The authors infer lipid peroxidation is not necessary for nodule senescence.
