"We studied a large number of wheat and barley genotypes under different nitrogen supply conditions and analyzed their root architecture and nitrogen accumulation in the plants," says lead author Md.

Researchers have identified a plant enzyme that is key to activating a nitrate uptake mechanism in response to nitrogen starvation. This finding explains how plants meet their needs in challenging ...

Determining the right amount of nitrogen for your corn crop is a balancing act that can challenge any farmer. Get it wrong, and your yield can suffer. We can help you better understand the ...

Plant and Soil, Vol. 129, No. 2 (December (II), 1990), pp. 173-182 (10 pages) The development and effects of nitrogen (N) deficiency in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa 'Hayward') vines planted at three ...

Although soybeans generally supply up to 90% of their own nitrogen needs through their beneficial relationship with Rhizobium bacteria 1 and via the soil 2, there are several factors that can limit ...

How does the average gardener tell by looking at a plant if it has a nutrient deficiency or a disease? The main three nutrients used in large amounts by our plants are N-P-K. N being nitrogen, P being ...

Rising carbon dioxide levels will cause crops to become less nutritious by cutting plants’ nitrogen concentrations, according to a study published Wednesday in Trends in Plant Science, leading ...

Nitrates are critical for the growth of plants, so plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to ensure sufficient nitrate uptake from their environments. In a new study published in Nature Plants, ...
