Abstract Following development of an in vitro assay, a
NADH/NADPH bispecific nitrate reductase stable for at least a month at 4deg.C,
and thermostable at temperatures to at least 60deg.C, has been identified in
crude and partially-purified extracts of leaves and roots of kiwifruit
(Actinidia deliciosa). Stability characteristics were not confined to
kiwifruit, but were found to extend to other members of the genus also.
Keywords Actinidia; in vitro enzyme assay; kiwifruit;
nitrate reductase; thermostability
