This study examined whether two species of Eucalyptus can take up the amino acid glycine
from soil and compared the uptake rate of glycine with the uptake rates of nitrate and …

While it is accepted that many ectomycorrhizal fungi can assimilate organic substrates and
facilitate transfer of their elemental components to plants, the fate of the carbon contained in …

Few studies have examined how temperature affects uptake of nitrate, ammonium and
amino acids from soil. This study tests the hypothesis that cool temperatures favour uptake of …

Ammonium and nitrate uptake by roots of Eucalyptus nitens was characterised with respect
to pH and temperature. Uptake of ammonium and nitrate was measured as depletion from …

The quantitative significance of amino acids to plant nutrition remains controversial. This
experiment determined whether post‐uptake metabolism and root to shoot export differ …

It is well established that ectomycorrhizal fungi can use amino acids as nitrogen and carbon
sources, but data on the kinetic properties of amino acid uptake systems of ectomycorrhizal …

While it is well established that plants are able to acquire nitrogen in inorganic form, there is
less information on their ability to 'short circuit'the N cycle, compete with microbes, and …

Research on plant nitrogen (N) uptake and metabolism has more or less exclusively
concerned inorganic N, particularly nitrate. Nevertheless, recent as well as older studies …

Direct uptake of organic nitrogen (ON) compounds, rather than inorganic N, by plant roots
has been hypothesized to constitute a significant pathway for plant nutrition. The aim of this …

Languishing for many years in the shadow of plant inorganic nitrogen (N) nutrition research,
studies of organic N uptake have attracted increased attention during the last decade. The …
