How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

NADPH‐, NADH‐, and KNO3‐eluted fractions of nitrate reductase (NR) were isolated from roots of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Mironovskaya 808) grown under low temperature or high salinity. All three fractions exerted activity with either NADPH or NADH as electron donor. The NADPH‐eluted fraction showed the highest activity with NADPH, whereas the NADH‐ and KNO3‐eluted fractions were most active with NADH. The NADH‐ and NADPH‐dependent activities in the NADH‐ and KNO3‐eluted fractions were the ones that changed the most in response to low temperature. The inhibitory effect of salt stress was the same for both activities in each of the NADH‐ and KNO3‐eluted fractions. The NADPH‐eluted NR was the one least affected by the growth conditions.
