| Abstract | Young intact plants of maize (Zea mays L. cv INRA 508) were exposed to 2 to 4 kilopascals partial pressure oxygen (hypoxic pretreatment) for 18 hours before excision of the 5 millimeter root apex and treatment with strictly anaerobic conditions (anoxia). Hypoxic acclimation gave rise to larger amounts of ATP, to larger ATP/ADP and adenylate energy charge ratios, and to higher rates of ethanol production when excised root tips were subsequently made anaerobic, compared with root tips transferred directly from aerobic to anaerobic media. Improved energy metabolism following hypoxic pretreatment was associated with increased activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and induction of ADH-2 isozymes. Roots of Adh1− mutant plants lacked constitutive ADH and only slowly produced ethanol when made anaerobic. Those that were hypoxically pretreated acclimated to anoxia with induction of ADH2 and a higher energy metabolism, and a rate of ethanol production comparable to that of nonmutants. All these responses were insensitive to the presence or absence of NO3 −. Additionally, the rate of ethanol production was about 50 times greater than the rate of reduction of NO3 − to NO2 −. These results indicate that nitrate reductase does not compete effectively with ADH for NADH, or contribute to energy metabolism during anaerobic respiration in this tissue through nitrate reduction. Unacclimated root tips of wild type and Adhl− mutants appeared not to survive more than 8 to 9 hours in strict anoxia; when hypoxically pretreated they tolerated periods under anoxia in excess of 22 hours. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
