The nitrogen (N)-rich ureides allantoin and allantoate, which are products of purine
catabolism, play a role in N delivery in Leguminosae. Here, we examined their role as an N …

The remobilization of metabolites during stress and senescence plays an important role in
optimal plant adaptation to the environment. The plant molybdenum co‐factor (MoCo) and …

Background The ureides allantoin and allantoate are major metabolic intermediates of
purine catabolism with high nitrogen-to-carbon ratios. Ureides play a key role in nitrogen …

In our recent paper in Plant J 1, we described the remobilization of purine metabolites during
natural and dark induced senescence in wild type and Atxdh1 mutant lines impaired in …

Seed dormancy is a very complex trait controlled by interactions between genetic and
environmental factors. Nitrate is inversely correlated with seed dormancy in Arabidopsis …

Allantoin, a metabolite generated in the purine degradation pathway, was primarily
considered an intermediate for recycling of the abundant nitrogen assimilated in plant …

Warm season N2-fixing legumes move fixed N from the nodules to the aerial portions of the
plant primarily in the form of ureides, allantoin and allantoate, oxidation products of purines …

Nitrogen availability has a strong influence on developmental processes in plants. We show
that the time of nitrogen supply regulates the course of leaf senescence in flag leaves of …

Leaf senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana is a strict, genetically controlled nutrient recovery
program, which typically progresses in an age-dependent manner. Leaves of the …

Leaf senescence is a developmentally controlled process, which is additionally modulated
by a number of adverse environmental conditions. Nitrogen shortage is a well-known trigger …
