In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Background Plants can utilize two major forms of inorganic N: NO3−(nitrate) and NH4+
(ammonium). In some cases, the preference of one form over another (denoted as β) can …

摘要植物能够在不经矿化的情况下直接吸收利用环境中的分子态氨基酸. 氨基酸作为植物和
微生物的优良碳源和氮源, 二者对其吸收存在着激烈竞争, 氨基酸态氮来源广 …

Phosphorus (P) has multiple effects on plant metabolism, but there are many unresolved
questions especially for evergreen trees. For example, we do not know the general effects of …

Globally only≈ 50% of applied nitrogen (N) fertilizer is captured by crops and the remainder
can cause pollution via runoff and gaseous emissions. Synchronizing soil N supply and crop …

Fertilizer regime affects plant growth and soil microbial community composition, however, its
impact on organic nitrogen (N) uptake by plants remains poorly understood. To address this …

Background Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis in plant and algal
cells. The information chloroplast genome contained is widely used in agriculture and …

Background Eucalyptus pauciflora (the snow gum) is a long-lived tree with high economic
and ecological importance. Currently, little genomic information for E. pauciflora is available …

Studies of organic nitrogen (N) cycling and uptake by plants have focused on protein amino
acids, but the soil solution includes organic N compounds from many other compound …

In contrast to inorganic nitrogen (N) assimilation, the role of organic N forms, such as
proteins and peptides, as sources of N and their impact on plant metabolism remains …
