The role of mineral elements in the activity of plant enzyme systems

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter has two objects. The first is to outline the role of mineral elements in the activation of enzyme systems occurring in higher plants and microorganisms. The second is to discuss related aspects of interest to physiologists including multiple metal activation, status of essential and non-essential elements and effects of total metal content on enzyme patterns. It is necessary at times to refer to enzymes in animal tissues to illustrate certain points. References to many physiological studies in plant nutrition have been omitted where they do not directly concern aspects of enzyme activity. Reviews by Mulder (1950), Hewitt (1951) and Pirson (1955) deal with such related physiological aspects of mineral nutrition not included here. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the stimulation gained from reviews in the Annual Reviews of Biochemistry and Plant Physiology and especially from those of Mc Elroy (1953), Mc Elroy and Nason (1954), and the recent symposia of the McCollum-Pratt Institute (Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore) on Copper Metabolism (1950), on Phosphorus Metabolism (1951) on the Mechanism of Enzyme Action (1954), and on Inorganic Nitrogen Metabolism (1956), all edited by Mc Elroy and Glass.
