Often referred to as the “building blocks of proteins”, the 20 canonical proteinogenic amino
acids are ubiquitous in biological systems as the functional units in proteins. Sometimes …

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 …

Nitrogen (N) is the main mineral element in plant tissues and almost all of this nutrient is
acquired from the soil by the roots. Nitrogen is available in many different forms in the soil …

Many forest ecosystems have evolved at sites with growth‐limiting nitrogen (N) availability,
low N input from external sources and high ecosystem internal cycling of N. By contrast …

Amino acids are essential plant compounds serving as the building blocks of proteins, the
predominant forms of nitrogen (N) distribution, and signaling molecules. Plant amino acids …

The uptake of nitrogen (N) by roots is known to change with supply in a manner that
suggests that the N status of plants is somehow sensed and can feedback to regulate this …

Plants require macro-and micronutrients, each of which is essential for a plant to complete
its life cycle. Adequate provision of nutrients impacts greatly on plant growth and as such is …

Fungi contribute to plant mineral nutrition through diverse symbiotic mycorrhizal
associations. Although historically most attention has been put on Glomeromycotina fungi …

Evidence shows that many tree species can take up organic nitrogen (N) in the form of free
amino acids from soils, but few studies have been conducted to compare organic and …

This study assessed the diversity and distribution of fungal communities associated with
seven lichen species in the Ny-Ålesund Region (Svalbard, High Arctic) using Roche 454 …
