Nitrogen is the main limiting nutrient after carbon, hydrogen and oxygen for photosynthetic
process, phyto-hormonal, proteomic changes and growth-development of plants to complete …

Plant scientists have long recognized the need to develop crops that absorb and use
nutrients more efficiently. Two approaches have been used to increase nutrient use …

This short review outlines the central role of glutamine synthetase (GS) in plant nitrogen
metabolism and discusses some possibilities for crop improvement. GS functions as the …

Application of chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen (N), to crops has increased
dramatically in the last half century and therefore develo** crop varieties with improved N …

In this review, we present the recent developments and future prospects of improving
nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in crops using various complementary approaches. These …

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

In the last 40 years the amount of synthetic nitrogen (N) applied to crops has risen
drastically, resulting in significant increases in yield but with considerable impacts on the …

Plants have evolved a multitude of strategies to adjust their growth according to external and
internal signals. Interconnected metabolic and phytohormonal signalling networks allow …

The efficiency with which plants use nutrients to create biomass and/or grain is determined
by the interaction of environmental and plant intrinsic factors. The major macronutrients …

To study the genetic variability and the genetic basis of nitrogen (N) use efficiency in maize,
a set of recombinant inbred lines crossed with a tester was studied at low input (N–) and …
