The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

Nitrogen accounts for approximately 60% of the fertilizer consumed each year; thus, it
represents one of the major input costs for most nonlegume crops. Nitrate is one of the two …

Nutrient signalling integrates and coordinates gene expression, metabolism and growth.
However, its primary molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood in plants and …

Optimal plant development requires root uptake of 14 essential mineral elements from the
soil. Since the bioavailability of these nutrients underlies large variation in space and time …

Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and basic metabolic processes. The
application of nitrogen-containing fertilizer increases yield, which has been a substantial …

Nitrogen (N) availability is a major factor determining plant growth and productivity. Plants
acquire inorganic N from the soil, mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium. To date …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient that affects plant growth and development. N is an
important component of chlorophyll, amino acids, nucleic acids, and secondary metabolites …

Application of chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen (N), to crops has increased
dramatically in the last half century and therefore developing crop varieties with improved N …
