General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function overexpression of UPM1 signals higher nitrite reductase (NII) and sulfite reductase gene and gene product expression. Increased NII expression regulates and enhances the transcript and protein abundance of nitrate reductase. Due to higher N and S assimilation in these plants, total protein content increases. Consequently, chlorophyll biosynthesis increases and upregulates photosynthetic electron transport and carbon assimilation. In the antisense plants, the transcript abundance, and protein content of nitrite reductase (NII) and sulfite reductase decrease, resulting in reduced total protein and chlorophyll content Arabidopsis thaliana
