Autoanalytical procedure for the determination of allantoin and allantoic Acid in soybean tissue.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ureide analyses of soybean (Glycine max L.) tissues were accomplished with a modified and simplified automated analysis used to determine allantoin concentration in rat urine. The length of the circuit and flow rates of the solutions were reduced, and NaOH was used for color development at room temperature. Keto-acids did not significantly interfere with the determinations of ureides except for glyoxylic acid in extracts of fresh soybean tissue. The interference caused by glyoxylic acid was avoided by adding phenylhydrazine HCl to the solution of NaOH used for alkaline hydrolysis of allantoin.

Allantoin and Allantoic Acid in Tissues and Stem Exudate from Field-grown Soybean Plants.
Samples of stem exudate and plant tissue collected from field-grown soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) plants were analyzed for allantoin and allantoic acid. Nitrogen in nitrate plus amino acids exceeded ureide N concentration in stem exudate prior to flowering. During all of reproductive development (from about 40 days after planting until maturity), ureide N concentration was two to six times g...

Some studies on the effects of xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol [4-hydroxypyrazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidine] on allantoin metabolism of soybean plants (Glycine max cv. Tamanishiki) are reported. Soybean seedlings, aseptically germinated for 96 hours on agar containing 1 millimolar allopurinol, contained only slight amounts of allantoin, allantoic acid, and urea as compared with controls. Analysis...
متن کاملConcentrations of sucrose and nitrogenous compounds in the apoplast of developing soybean seed coats and embryos.
The apoplast of developing soybean (Glycine max cv Hodgson) embryos and seed coats was analyzed for sucrose, amino acids, ureides, nitrate, and ammonia. The apoplast concentration of amino acids and nitrate peaked during the most rapid stage of seed filling and declined sharply as the seed attained its maximum dry weight. Amino acids and nitrate accounted for 80 to 95% of the total nitrogen, wi...
متن کاملIncreasing Nitrogen Fixation and Seed Development in Soybean Requires Complex Adjustments of Nodule Nitrogen Metabolism and Partitioning Processes
Legumes are able to access atmospheric di-nitrogen (N2) through a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia that reside within root nodules. In soybean, following N2 fixation by the bacteroids, ammonia is finally reduced in uninfected cells to allantoin and allantoic acid [1]. These ureides present the primary long-distance transport forms of nitrogen (N), and are exported from nodules via the xylem...
متن کاملImmunoaffinity purification and comparison of allantoinases from soybean root nodules and cotyledons.
Allantoinase (allantoin amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.2.5) catalyzes the conversion of allantoin to allantoic acid in the final step of ureide biogenesis. We have purified allantoinase more than 4000-fold by immunoaffinity chromatography from root nodules and cotyledons of soybean (Glycine max [L] Merr.). We characterized and compared properties of the enzyme from the two sources. Seed and nodule alla...
