to‐shoot transport of nitrogen 38 IV. Nitrogen storage pools in vegetative tissues 39 V …

Proline has been recognized as a multi‐functional molecule, accumulating in high
concentrations in response to a variety of abiotic stresses. It is able to protect cells from …

l-Tryptophan, l-phenylalanine, and l-tyrosine are aromatic amino acids (AAAs) that are used
for the synthesis of proteins and that in plants also serve as precursors of numerous natural …

Background Productive agriculture needs a large amount of expensive nitrogenous
fertilizers. Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of crop plants is thus of key importance …

Root‐secreted chemicals mediate multi‐partite interactions in the rhizosphere, where plant
roots continually respond to and alter their immediate environment. Increasing evidence …

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 …

Amino acids play several critical roles in plants, from providing the building blocks of
proteins to being essential metabolites interacting with many branches of metabolism. They …

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 …

Amino acid transporters (AAT s) play indispensable roles in nutrient allocation during plant
development. In this study, we demonstrated that inhibiting expression of the rice amino acid …
