The effect of tungsten on the development of endogenous and nitrate-induced NADH- and FMNH(2)-linked nitrate reductase activities in primary leaves of 10-day-old soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) seedlings was studied. The seedlings were grown with or without exogenous nitrate. High levels of endogenous nitrate reductase activities developed in leaves of seedlings grown without nitrate. However, no endogenous nitrite reductase activity was detected in such seedlings. The FMNH(2)-linked nitrate reductase activity was about 40% of NADH-linked activity. Tungsten had little or no effect on the development of endogenous NADH- and FMNH(2)-linked nitrate reductase activities, respectively. By contrast, in nitrate-grown seedlings, tungsten only inhibited the nitrate-induced portion of NADH-linked nitrate reductase activity, whereas the FMNH(2)-linked activity was inhibited completely. Tungsten had no effect on the development of nitrate-induced nitrite reductase activity. The complete inhibition of FMNH(2)-linked nitrate reductase activity by tungsten in nitrate-grown plants was apparently an artifact caused by the reduction of nitrite by nitrite reductase in the assay system. The results suggest that in soybean leaves either the endogenous nitrate reductase does not require molybdenum or the molybdenum present in the seed is preferentially utilized by the enzyme complex as compared to nitrate-induced nitrate reductase.
