malfunction
-
the total capacity of the enzyme-mediated ligation of free ammonium and glutamate to form glutamine in the leaves of maize plants is not impaired upon severe magnesium starvation. The total GS-mediated primary or secondary assimilation of free NH4+ is not a limiting enzymatic reaction under Mg-deficiency and thus cannot be accountable for the observed restriction of plant growth and productivity in Mg-deficient maize, phenotype, overview
physiological function
-
glutamine synthetase is one of the key enzymes in nitrogen assimilation, ligating-free ammonium to glutamate to form glutamine and it is therefore crucial for plant growth and productivity
