Regulation of Assimilatory Nitrate Reductase:  Dr.                         Solomonson proposes to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms                      operative in the regulation of nitrate assimilation.  This is the               process by which plants convert nitrate in soil to usable organic               nitrogen.  In an algal model system he will use molecular and                   biochemical techniques to learn how cellular activity is affected               by light intensity, concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide,                   nitrate and fixed nitrogens.                                                                                                                                         Nitrate reductase is the key enzyme in nitrate assimilation,               the major process responsible for the conversion of inorganic                   nitrogen of soil and fertilizer to organic nitrogen in the plant                kingdom.  The net global production of food protein is eventually               dependent in large part on nitrate assimilation.  Understanding                 how nitrate reductase is regulated in the green alga, Chlorella,                will certainly increase our knowledge of how this enzyme is                     regulated throughout the plant kingdom.  Thus the results of this               study will not only be of fundamental importance but may also in                the future be agronomically significant.
