Nitrate: nutrient and signal for plant growth.

NM Crawford - The plant cell, 1995 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The mineral nutrient needed in greatest abundance by plants is nitrogen. Plants, however,

Nitrate reductase structure, function and regulation: bridging the gap between biochemistry and physiology

WH Campbell - Annual review of plant biology, 1999 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6. 6.1-3) catalyzes NAD (P) H reduction of nitrate to
