Background Productive agriculture needs a large amount of expensive nitrogenous
fertilizers. Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of crop plants is thus of key importance …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

We produced a reference sequence of the 1-gigabase chromosome 3B of hexaploid bread
wheat. By sequencing 8452 bacterial artificial chromosomes in pools, we assembled a …

In this review, recent developments and future prospects of obtaining a better understanding
of the regulation of nitrogen use efficiency in the main crop species cultivated in the world …

In the past 50 years, the application of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizer to farmland resulted in
a dramatic increase in crop yields but with considerable negative impacts on the …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Glutamine synthetase assimilates ammonium into amino acids, thus it is a key enzyme for
nitrogen metabolism. The cytosolic isoenzymes of glutamine synthetase assimilate …

Plants have evolved a multitude of strategies to adjust their growth according to external and
internal signals. Interconnected metabolic and phytohormonal signalling networks allow …

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required in large quantities for the proper growth and
development of plants. Nitrogen is the most limiting macronutrient for crop production in …
