Ni micronutrient has its essentiality justified in plants by its urease enzyme activator role and thus enabling the recycling of nitrogen from the degradation of toxic levels of urea. In addition to the metabolic and biochemical roles that Ni can exert through urease, recent studies show that this metal can activate a glyoxalase I isoform important in the degradation of MG, a potent cytot…
The fact that Ni is part of the active site of urease in plants, and this enzyme is responsible for the elimination of toxic levels of urea in plants has been the justification for classifying this element as essential. In contrast, urease activity has been almost strictly related to the urea produced in the conversion of arginine to ornithine and especially in seeds. In vegetative tissue…
