| Abstract | Evidence is provided for a close link between glutamate (Glu) synthesis and the production of reducing power by the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP) in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. Alfeo) root plastids. A rapid procedure for isolating organelles gave yields of plastids of over 30%, 60% of which were intact. The formation of Glu by intact plastids fed with glutamine and 2-oxoglutarate, both substrates of glutamate synthase (GOGAT), depends on glucose-6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) supply. The whole process exhibited an apparent K m Glc-6-P of 0.45 mM and is abolished by azaserine, a specific inhibitor of GOGAT; ATP caused a decrease in the rate of Glu formation. Glucose and other sugar phosphates were not as effective in supporting Glu synthesis with respect to Glc-6-P; only ribose-5-phosphate, an intermediate of OPPP, supported rates equivalent to Glc-6-P. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Glc6PDH) rapidly purified from root plastids showed an apparent K m Glc-6-P of 0.96 mM and an apparent K m NADP + of 9 µM. The enzyme demonstrated high tolerance to NADPH, exhibiting a K i NADPH of 58.6 µM and selectively reacted with antibodies against potato plastidic, but not chloroplastic, Glc6PDH isoform. The data support the hypothesis that plastidic OPPP is the main site of reducing power supply for GOGAT within the plastids, and suggest that the plastidic OPPP would be able to sustain Glu synthesis under high NADPH:NADP+ ratios even if the plastidic Glc6PDH may not be functioning at its highest rates. |

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.
