Abstract

Mitochondria isolated from detached pea shoots which had been grown in water for 1.5 h in the dark contained about 1.64 nmol NH₄^$ per mg of protein. Light treatment caused approximately 50% increase in the mitochondrial NH₄^$. Methionine sulfoximine slightly reduced the mitochondrial NH₄^$, although total NH₄^$ in the shoot extracts was greatly increased by the inhibitor.
