Chicory (Cichorium intybus), a deep rooted weed, grows in regions with temperate climates. Seasonal partitioning of compounds between the root and shoot results in fluctuations in the soluble carbohydrate, nitrate, amino acid, and protein pools within the roots. The activities of nitrate reductase (NR) (EC 1.6.6.1), glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2), NADH (EC 1.4.1.14), ferrodoxin glutamate synthase (EC 1.4.7.1), and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) (EC 1.4.1.2-4) vary throughout the year and coincide with seasonal alterations in nitrate, fructose, and sucrose. During the winter, NR, glutamine synthetase and ferrodoxin glutamate synthase activities increase in the root, while GDH displays the opposite trend with elevated activity in the summer months. All of these enzymes exhibit seasonal alterations in abundance as detected by Western blot analysis, increasing during the winter and, therefore, contributing to the seasonally dynamic protein pool. Extensive fluctuations in abundance and activity of these enzymes in the root occur during the spring and fall and coincide with shoot growth and senescence, respectively. Several observations indicate that posttranslational modifications of NR and GDH are taking place throughout the year; for example, NR is particularly unstable during the spring and fall, and seasonal GDH activity does not correlate with protein abundance.
