Two cultivars (Karlo and Rosanna) of greenhouse lettuce were grown under different photosynthetic photon fluxes (PPF) and photoperiods provided by 400-W high–pressure sodium lamps. Natural light was compared to suppletmental lighting treatments providing either 50 or 100 μmol m-2-s-1 for photoperiods of 16, 20 or 24 h. Lettuce plants were grown in hydroponic gulleys using a standard nutrient solution. Plant fresh weights were measured every week for the duration of each culture grown between August 1989 and June 1990. The incidence of tipburn and the overall quality of the shoots were determined at the end of each crop. Leaf nitrate contents and nitrate reductase activity were measured for various lighting treatments. The highest fresh weight was obtained for the highest PPF and the longest photoperiod. However, these treatments were associated with a higher incidence of tipburn. Supplemental lighting reduced the leaf nitrate contents and affected the nitrate reductase activity.

Effects of nitrogen fertilization (80 kg N/ha) were studied on pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) genotypes including hybrids (MH-179 and HHB-67), composites (CZ-IC-923 and CZP-9604) and land races (Barmer population and CZ-IC-718) grown for 2 consecutive years (1997 and 1998) under rainfed conditions of the Indian arid zone. Nitrogen application significantly increased the grain and stover yields in all the genotypes, particularly in the hybrids during both the years but more so in 1997, characterized by late onset of rains followed by adequate precipitation (299·5 mm). Notwithstanding lower plant water potential and leaf relative water content, N fertilized plants displayed significantly higher photosynthetic rates, leaf area, levels of total chlorophyll, starch, reducing sugars, soluble protein and free amino acids and nitrate reductase activity as compared with unfertilized control plants in all the genotypes during both the years.Genotypes HHB-67 and Barmer population during 1997 and HHB-67 and CZ-IC-718 during 1998 provided significantly higher grain yields than other genotypes whereas dry matter production was highest in cv. Barmer population during both the years. These genotypes generally maintained higher rates of photosynthesis, more efficient carbohydrate metabolism and higher nitrate reductase activity leading to better performance. Relatively higher yields of land races than composites and comparable with those of hybrids indicated adaptation of these cultivars to arid conditions and maintenance of several characteristics for their superior performance which could be further augmented by N application.Fertility induced improvement of metabolic efficiency, coupled with higher photosynthesis and nitrate reductase activity for efficient N utilization seem to be the control mechanisms, for enhanced growth and yield of diverse pearl millet genotypes under limited water conditions.

American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) seedlings were grown in the field under different urea–nitrogen fertilization regimes to identify nitrogen variables that characterize the growth response. Treatments included fertilization with 50, 150, and 450 kg N/ha, periodic fertilization (three times during the growing season) at 37.5 kg N/ha, and an unfertilized control. Leaf total nitrogen concentration was a poor indicator of plant growth response to nitrogen fertilization. Salt-extractable protein, nitrate, and free amino acid concentrations all trended upward by the end of the growing season as relative growth rate declined, but treatment differences were minimal. Leaf nitrate reductase activity was consistently higher in fertilized trees before substantial leaf senescence had occurred. When leaf loss was evident, all treatments had high levels of nitrate reductase activity. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid were the most prevalent free amino acids in leaves, whereas concentrations of amine-rich amino acids were low. Although several nitrogen variables, including foliar asparagine and glycine concentrations, were positively correlated with relative growth rate (r ≥ 0.7), no single variable closely reflected treatment differences in growth response. Key words: amino acids, nitrogen, nitrate reductase, sycamore.

<p>Vanilla (<em>Vanilla planifolia Andrews</em>) is one of the important exported commodities in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of top five major vanilla exporters in the world, that produce the high quality of Indonesian vanilla with high vanillin content (2.75%). The aims of this research were to determine the effects of dose binukleat Rhizoctonia (BNR) and phosphorus as well as the interaction of the nitrate reductase activity (NRA) and chlorophyll of the vanilla seedling (<em>Vanilla planifolia Andrew</em>). Method in this research used completely randomized factorial design, by involving two factors (dose of BNR inoculation and Phosphor). The first factor is without inoculation and inoculation BNR (M<sub>0</sub>, M<sub>1</sub>, M<sub>2</sub>, M<sub>3</sub>) wich consists of (0,5, 10, 15) g/polybag, the second factor is the dose of phosphorus fertilizer (P<sub>0</sub>, P<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>2</sub>, P<sub>3</sub>) which consists of (0, 3, 6, 9) g/polibag. The results showed that the inoculation dose of BNR and doses of phosphorus not significant and lower levels of NRA and chlorophyll while the interaction dose of BNR and phosphorus significantly and increase levels of NRA and chlorophyll of vanilla seedling. Nitrate Reductase Activity and chlorophyll has important role in metabolism process as a plant growth indicator.</p><p><strong>How to Cite</strong></p><p>Haryuni, H., &amp; Dewi, T. S. K. (2016).
