Nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) are the two most abundantly acquired mineral elements by
plants, and their acquisition pathways interact in complex ways. Here, we review pivotal …

In higher plants, nitrate reductase (NR) is inactivated by the phosphorylation of a conserved
Ser residue and binding of 14‐3‐3 proteins in the presence of divalent cations or …

Little is known about the molecular and regulatory mechanisms of long-distance nitrate
transport in higher plants. NRT1. 5 is one of the 53 Arabidopsis thaliana nitrate transporter …

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have shown great potential for plant growth and development,
with higher luminous efficiency and more flexible and feasible spectral control compared …

Nitrogen and sulfur are abundant constituents of plant and algal cells that are assimilated at
the lowest oxidation number, as NH 4+ and S 2−, although they can (in the case of sulfur …

Plants, like all eukaryotes and most prokaryotes, have evolved sophisticated mechanisms
for anticipating predictable environmental changes that arise due to the rotation of the Earth …

Chloroplast development is an important determinant of plant productivity and is controlled
by environmental factors including amounts of light and nitrogen as well as internal …

Nitrogen assimilation in leaves requires primary NH2 acceptors that, in turn, originate from
primary carbon metabolism. Respiratory metabolism is believed to provide such acceptors …

Living organisms have developed a multitude of timing mechanisms—“biological clocks.”
Their mechanisms are based on either oscillations (oscillatory clocks) or unidirectional …

Rice is one of the most important cereal crops, feeding more than 50% population of the
world. To meet the demand of increasing population, rice production has to be improved …
