Light modulates activity and expression of glutamine synthetase isoforms in maize seedling roots

In maize roots, continuous illumination inhibits chloroplastic glutamine synthetase (GS2) activity, which decreased in light from 72.8% in 4-day-old to 26% in 10-day-old plants. In dark-adapted plants transferred to light for 6 days, GS2 activity declined from 100% to 41%, but in light-adapted plant...
