Plants uptake and assimilate nitrogen from the soil in the form of nitrate, ammonium ions,
and available amino acids from organic sources. Plant nitrate and ammonium transporters …

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 …

Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among
Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to …

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 …

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 …

Plants in nature, which are continuously challenged by diverse insect herbivores, produce
constitutive and inducible defenses to reduce insect damage and preserve their own fitness …

Monocarpic senescence, characterized by whole-plant senescence following a single
flowering phase, is widespread in seed plants, particularly in crops, determining seed …

Nitrogen is a key mineral nutrient playing a crucial role in plant growth and development.
Understanding the mechanisms of nitrate uptake from the soil and distribution through the …

Plants modulate the efficiency of root nitrogen (N) acquisition in response to shoot N
demand. However, molecular components directly involved in this shoot-to-root …
