Abstract
Maize cDNA coding for nitrite reductase is cloned, using a spinach nitrite reductase cDNA as a heterologous probe, and is characterized. A method is provided to use the cloned maize nitrite reductase cDNA to determine the number of nitrite reductase genes per maize genome and to study nitrite reductase mRNA regulation in maize.
Claims4
