Glutamine Synthetase in Legumes: Recent Advances in Enzyme Structure and Functional Genomics

Glutamine synthetase (GS) is the key enzyme involved in the assimilation of ammonia derived either from nitrate reduction, N<sub>2</sub> fixation, photorespiration or asparagine breakdown. A small gene family is encoding for different cytosolic (GS1) or plastidic (GS2) is...
