Glutamate (Glu) is a versatile metabolite and a signaling molecule in plants. Glu
biosynthesis is associated with the primary nitrogen assimilation pathway. The conversion …

A major source of inorganic nitrogen for rice plants grown in paddy soil is ammonium ions.
The ammonium ions are actively taken up by the roots via ammonium transporters and …

Salt‐stress effects on osmotic adjustment, ion and proline concentrations as well as proline
metabolizing enzyme activities were studied in two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars differing in …

To study the regulation of ammonium uptake into rice roots, three ammonium transporter
genes (OsAMT1; 1, 1; 2 and 1; 3; O ryza s ativa am monium t ransporter) were isolated and …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants possess three homologous but distinct genes for cytosolic
glutamine synthetase (GS1): these are OsGS1; 1, OsGS1; 2, and OsGS1; 3. OsGS1; 1 was …

The discovery of glutamate synthases (EC 1.4. 1.13 and EC 1.4. 7.1) caused a major re-
assessment of the way in which ammonium is assimilated in bacteria and higher plants. The …

In this study cashew (Anacardium occidentale) plants were exposed to a short-and long-
term exposure to NaCl in order to establish the importance of the salt-induced proteolysis …

Ammonium is a preferential nitrogen form for rice (Oryza sativa) grown in paddy field, but the
molecular mechanisms for ammonium uptake have not been well understood. We …

In this article, we discuss the ways in which our understanding of the controls of nitrogen
remobilisation in model species and crop plants have been increased through classical …

To elucidate the role of transporters in N nutrition of tomato, two new transporter genes were
isolated from cDNA libraries of root hairs or leaves of tomato. While LeAMT1; 2 is closely …
