Nickel (Ni) is an essential micronutrient required for plants' metabolism due to its role as a
structural component of urease and hydrogenase, which in turn perform nitrogen (N) …

Background and aims The importance of seed Ni reserves for plant growth and N
metabolism is poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of both seed Ni and …

Nickel (Ni) availability in soil varies as a function of pH. Plants require Ni in small quantities
for normal development, especially in legumes due its role in nitrogen (N) metabolism. This …

Abstract Background and aims Nickel (Ni) has a critical role in the urea metabolism of plants.
This study investigated the impact of seed Ni content along with external Ni supply on the …

Nickel (Ni)—a component of urease and hydrogenase—was the latest nutrient to be
recognized as an essential element for plants. However, to date there are no records of Ni …

Nickel (Ni) is a trace element beneficial for plant growth and development and could
improve crop yield by stimulating urea decomposition and nitrogen-fixing enzyme activity. A …

Studies on the role of nickel (Ni) in photosynthetic and antioxidant metabolism, as well as in
flavonoid synthesis and biological fixation nitrogen in cowpea crop are scarce. The aim of …

Seeds with a high concentration of P or Mo can improve the growth and N accumulation of
the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), but the effect of enriched seeds on biological N2 …

There has recently been concern in Brazil whether biological N2 fixation (BNF) is capable of
meeting the increased N needs of newly released more productive cultivars, as well as …

Nickel (Ni) at low concentrations is an essential micronutrient for higher plants. Nickel is a
cofactor of the enzyme urease and plays a critical role in the germination of seeds. This …
