the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent NAD+ kinase isoforms, amongst which is the isoform bound to mitochondrial membranes play an important role at the end of sensu stricto germination and during the following growth of Avena sativa
the 410000 Da isoenzyme could be a housekeeping enzyme, the 63000 Da isoenzyme could be mainly involved in the adaption and response of Avena sativa to environmental signals or stress through changes of redox potential and/or calcium signalling pathways
treatment with AlCl3 of cell grown heterotrophically grown in darkness at pH 3.5 in the presence of lactate as sole carbon source, slows down the culture growth and suppresses the peak of NAD+ kinase activity, which characterizes the beginning of the exponential phase of growth of the control cultures, possible explanations

the membranal Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent enzyme might be important for early growth metabolism. Except for drought-stressed Phaseolus vulgaris at the stage of radicle protrusion in which NAD+ kinase activities are not perturbed, in both Phaseolus vulgaris and Phaseolus acutifolius NAD+ kinase activities temporarily decrease in response to drought stress, these being restored after subsequent rehydration
