In this paper the effects of Ncarboxymethyl chitosan on key nitrogen metabolism enzymes of maize are investigated by field experiment to provide the theoretical basis for exploiting new plant growth regulators and popularizing new technology of increasing maize protein content and maize yield. The results show that the nitrate reductase,glutamine synthetase,protease and glutamine transverase activities of functional leaves and the glutamine synthetase activities, the contents of total N and protein N of grain in maize are obviously increased,...
