Nitrate reductase (NR) is a key enzyme for nitrogen acquisition by plants, algae, yeasts, and
fungi. Nitrate, its main substrate, is required for signaling and is widely distributed in diverse …

Mineral nitrogen fertilization has improved crop yield over the last century but has also
caused air and water pollution. Reduction of nitrogen inputs and maintaining high yields are …

Root system architecture has received increased attention in recent years; however,
significant knowledge gaps remain for physiological phenes, or units of phenotype, that …

Humic acids (HA s) have a major effect on nutrient uptake, metabolism, growth and
development in plants. Here, we evaluated the effect of HA pretreatment applied with a …

Aims Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has become a major global megatrend for sustainable
agricultural production, particularly in association with the reduced release of nitrogen …

Abstract Background and Aims Nitrate is a major form of inorganic nitrogen present in
cultivated soils; however, information on the mechanisms responsible for uptake of the anion …

Background and Aims: Understanding interactions between water and nitrate fluxes in
response to nitrate availability and transpiration rate is crucial to select more efficient plants …

A fully mechanistic dynamical model for plant nitrate uptake is presented. Based on
physiological and regulatory pathways and based on physical laws, we form a dynamic …

Abstract The Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) of grain cereals depends on nitrate (NO3−)
uptake from the soil, translocation to the aerial parts, nitrogen (N) assimilation and …

Many people around the world are overexposed to cadmium through their consumption of
plant products. A model predicting Cd content in crops would improve risk assessment and …
