The role of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage by trees will be discussed in terms of
uncoupling their growth from resource acquisition. There are profound differences between …

Interest in plant asparagine has rapidly taken off over the past 5 years following the report
that acrylamide, a neurotoxin and potential carcinogen, is present in cooked foods …

Mutualistic intracellular symbiosis between bacteria and insects is a widespread
phenomenon that has contributed to the global success of insects. The symbionts, by …

Shoot branching is a key process for plant growth and fitness. Newly produced axes result
from axillary bud outgrowth, which is at least partly mediated through the regulation of …

Abstract Bench-grafted 'Fuji/M. 26'apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) trees received a constant
nitrogen (N) supply (10.7 mM) from bud break to the end of June, and were then fertigated …

Plants have developed a variety of molecular strategies to use limiting nutrients with a
maximum efficiency. N assimilated into biomolecules can be released in the form of …

The effect of nitrogen (N) recycling on tissue δ 15 N was studied using drought‐deciduous
shrubs (Encelia farinosa and E. frutescens) and deciduous trees (Quercus rubra and Q …

The distribution of nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) pools in 100-year-old sessile oaks was
investigated in situ at four key periods of tree phenology. Leaves, twigs, trunk and roots were …

BACKGROUND: Free amino acids in young tea shoots are important chemical constituents,
remarkably influencing the quality of green teas. Nutrient solution, soil pot and field …

In irrigated apple orchard systems, the magnitude and timing of plant demand for nitrogen
(N) and retention of N in the root zone to allow root interception are important factors for …
