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 …

Plant nitrate transporters were first identified and functionally characterized more than 20
years ago. They are encoded at least by four gene families, NRT1 (NPF), NRT2, CLC, and …

Plants need to acquire nitrogen (N) efficiently from the soil for growth. Nitrate is one of the
major N sources for higher plants. Therefore, nitrate uptake and allocation are key factors in …

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 …

Box 9E. 1 Continued FIGURE 2. The C–S–R triangle model (Grime 1979). The strategies at
the three corners are C, competiti-winning species; S, stress-tolerating s-cies; R …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Nitrate is an important macronutrient and also acts as a signal for plant growth; however, its
levels in the soil solution can vary by three to four orders of magnitude. Consequently, plants …

The mineral nutrient needed in greatest abundance by plants is nitrogen. Plants, however,
must compete for nitrogen in the soil with abiotic and biotic processes such as erosion …

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 …
