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 …

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 …

Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among
Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to …

Plants have developed adaptive responses allowing them to cope with nitrogen (N)
fluctuation in the soil and maintain growth despite changes in external N availability. Nitrate …

Nitrate is both an important nutrient and a signalling molecule for plants. Although several
components of the nitrate signalling pathway have been identified, their hierarchical …

Background Nitrogen (N) is one of the key mineral nutrients for plants and its availability has
a major impact on their growth and development. Most often N resources are limiting and …

Dr. Harris has played a major role in the development of this organism as a model system.
Her previous version of the Chlamydomonas Sourcebook which published in 1989, has …

Nitrogen (N) is a key nutrient that limits global primary productivity; hence, N-use efficiency is
of compelling interest in agriculture and aquaculture. We used Chlamydomonas reinhardtii …

Like many microalgae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii forms lipid droplets rich in
triacylglycerols when nutrient deprived. To begin studying the mechanisms underlying this …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …
