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 …

▪ Abstract Nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6. 6.1-3) catalyzes NAD (P) H reduction of nitrate to
nitrite. NR serves plants, algae, and fungi as a central point for integration of metabolism by …

Ions serve as essential nutrients in higher plants and can also act as signaling molecules.
Little is known about how plants sense changes in soil nutrient concentrations. Previous …

The development of plant root systems is sensitive to the availability and distribution of
nutrients within the soil. For example, lateral roots proliferate preferentially within nitrate …

Nitrogen (N) and nitrate (NO3−) per se regulate many aspects of plant metabolism, growth,
and development. N/NO3− also suppresses parts of secondary metabolism, including …

This paper reports the identification and functional expression of a gene that is involved in
nitrate uptake in plants, a process essential for the assimilation of nitrate and the biological …

AGPase, ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase GS, glutamine synthetase GOGAT, glutamate:
oxoglutarate amino transferase NADP‐ICDH, NADP‐dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase …

Root development is extremely sensitive to variations in nutrient supply, but the mechanisms
are poorly understood. We have investigated the processes by which nitrate (NO3−) …

When the root system of a nutrient deficient plant is supplied locally with the nutrient, the
roots grow and proliferate in the nutrient‐rich zone, sometimes spectacularly so. In addition …

Nitrogen is one of the most essential nutrients for plants. It is regarded as the single most
important factor limiting growth of crops. The major inorganic forms of N that predominate in …
