Abstract
Significant differences in NO3 accumulation and nitrate reductase activity (NRA) were noted in the successive segments of developing young primary and nodal roots. This variation was also found to be a function of root age. Nitrite reductase activity (NiRA) on the other hand had little variation among various segments of primary and nodal roots and also as a function of root age. These data suggest root NO3 accumulation and root NRA are two processes which are not directly linked.
