Manganese (Mn) is an important micronutrient for plant growth and development and
sustains metabolic roles within different plant cell compartments. The metal is an essential …

The optimal elemental nutrition is the key to obtain high quality crop yields, presently and
more so in future climate. Plants need a number of elements spanning the periodic table for …

Urea is a plant metabolite derived either from root uptake or from catabolism of arginine by
arginase. In agriculture, urea is intensively used as a nitrogen fertilizer. Urea nitrogen enters …

Abstract Calcium (Ca2+) and manganese (Mn2+) are essential elements for plants and have
similar ionic radii and binding coordination. They are assigned specific functions within …

We propose experimental strategies to expand our understanding of the role of Ni in plants,
beyond the Ni-metallocenter of urease, still the only identified Ni-containing plant enzyme …

Tropical legumes transport fixed nitrogen in form of ureides (allantoin and allantoate) over
long distances from the nodules to the shoot. Ureides are formed in nodules from purine …

Despite the great agricultural and ecological importance of efficient use of urea‐containing
nitrogen fertilizers by crops, molecular and physiological identities of urea transport in higher …

The number of patients suffering from fungal diseases has constantly increased during the
last decade. Among the fungal pathogens, the airborne filamentous fungus Aspergillus …

Arginine plays an important role in the nitrogen (N) cycle because it has the highest ratio of
N to carbon among amino acids. In recent years, there has been increased research interest …

Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient for plant growth and development. Arginine is considered to be
an important amino acid for nitrogen transport and storage, playing a crucial role during …
