Local control could be expressed through decreased carbon metabolism • Nitrogen fixation may be regulated under D by carbon supply to the bacteroid
Post-transcriptional regulation ICDH under D stress is to regenerate the NADPH pool , an essential component of antioxidant defense systems
PD induces a local redox imbalance in nodules drought effects on nodule metabolism can be mimicked by methyl viologen (氧化還原指示劑) exacerbate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
Ascorbate (ASC)為Ascorbate peroxidase的反應受質 Dehydroascorbate (DHA) Ascorbate DHA reductase
local control of nitrogen fixation activity under D stress could be the overproduction of ROS • a redox imbalance occurred in PD-D nodules, but not in PD-C ones, suggesting a localized control
this study provides evidence for a local signal for reduced N2 fixation under D • further studies are required to determine if nitrogen compounds are involved in this signaling
