Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient required for crop productivity, which is the limiting
resource in most of the agricultural soils. External application of nitrogen fertilizers is …

In rice grain production, low nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) is a persistent problem that
impairs the balance between higher grain yield and the environmental risk caused by …

Maintaining an appropriate balance of carbon to nitrogen metabolism is essential for rice
growth and yield. Glutamine synthetase is a key enzyme for ammonium assimilation. In this …

Abstract Glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3. 1.2) is a key enzyme in nitrogen metabolism; it
catalyzes the critical incorporation of inorganic ammonium into glutamine. Two full-length …

Glutamine synthetase (GS, EC6. 3.1. 2) is a key enzyme in ammonia assimilation both in
plants and in Gram-negative microorganisms. It plays an important role in efficient use of …

Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has been a focal point for crop growth and yield
throughout the world. Glutamine synthetase (GS), which plays a fundamental role in N …

Glutamine synthetase (GS) is a key enzyme involved in the nitrogen metabolism of higher
plants. Abiotic stresses have adverse effects on crop production and pose a serious threat to …

Glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT) serve for primary assimilation
of N in higher plants. When NH4+ is the major inorganic N source, rice plants must …

Abstract The Green Revolution allowed a large amount of nitrogen (N) fertilization to
increase crop yield but has led to severe environmental pollution. Therefore, increasing the …

Rice (Oryza sativa) glutamate synthase (GOGAT, EC 1.4. 1.14) enzymes have been
proposed to have great potential for improving nitrogen use efficiency, but their functions in …
