• Nitrate reductase activity, assayed either in vivo or in vitro was considerably higher in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) leaves from 7-day-old light grown seedlings than those from dark grown, both in the absence as well as presence of nitrate. Cytochrome c reductase activity was however similar in both regimes, while peroxidase was lower in light than in dark. The light stimulated increase in nitrate reductase activity in leaf segments from dark grown seedlings was inhibited by cycloheximide, DNP, chloramphenicol, and sodium tungstate and was unaffected by lincomycin and DCMU. Under similar conditions, the increase in total chlorophyll was inhibited completely by cycloheximide and DNP, partially by chloramphenicol and lincomycin, and was unaffected by tungstate and DCMU. A supply of 1 - 5 mM reduced glutathione increased enzyme activity in the dark and also to some extent in light. The substrate induction of enzyme activity started after a lag of one hr in light or dark and continued for either 5 hr in the dark or 8 hr in light. Two proteinaceous inhibitors (Factors I and II) of nitrate reductase were isolated by ammonium sulfate precipitation and Sephadex gel filtration. The amount of Factor I was higher in the dark than in light. The amount and activity of Factor II was however, almost equal in light and dark. The inhibition of enzyme activity by these inhibitors increased with their concentration. It is proposed that light increases nitrate reductase activity by decreasing the amount of a nitrate reductase inhibitor.
