Unraveling the molecular mechanism of nitrogen-gene interactions during root development in rice Ghent University
Nitrogen (N) is the most important essential nutrient in soils and its reduced availability can limit plant growth and development in natural ecosystems as well as in agriculture. In some areas, N is the nutrient most often deficient for crop production. However, when N inputs to the soil system exceed crop needs, there is a possibility that excessive amounts of nitrate (NO3-) may enter either ground or surface water causing serious water ...
