Abstract
Nitrite reductase (NiR) was extracted from seedlings of winter triticale cultivar Moreno
in the form of homogenous protein fraction with molecular weight of about 61 kDa, characterised
by maximum of absorption at 280 and 390 nm. Differences in specific activity of enzyme
isolated from plants cultivated in different conditions (garden soil, Hoagland's diet) suggest that
NiR may be induced by light and nitrate ions presence in arable medium
