Abstract

Changes in glutamine synthetase activity located in the cytosol of root nodules were followed in pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants in relation to their nitrogenase activity. The highest glutamine synthetase activity was found in young nodules (15 days after inoculation) and its changes in 17-to 45-day-old plants showed a positive correlation with nitrogenase activity. In contrast to nitrogenase activity, changes in glutamine synthetase activity during the day and night period could not be unequivocally interpreted in terms of diurnal fluctuation.
