Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase activity during the first developmental stages of wheat plants as affected by calcium deficiency

The delay in development of winter wheat plants grown under conditions of Ca deficiency manifested itself also in the time curve of ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase activity. Up to the stage of the first leaf the activity increased. Thereafter it gradually decreased similarly as under conditions of complete nutrition, but with a shift of about 7 days as compared with plants given complete nutrition. Increased glutamate synthase activity in Ca-deficient plants may be one of the factors leading to a high glutamate level under these conditions.
