For the study, published in the journal Current Biology, the researchers looked at all the microbes found on the roots of tea plants. They then looked at the nitrogen metabolism of plants – a ...
Light provides material energy to plants as the basis for cell division and differentiation, chlorophyll synthesis, tissue growth and stomatal movement, and light intensity, photoperiod, and light ...
You will be redirected to our submission process. Amino acids occupy a privileged position in plant metabolism, not only as building blocks for proteins but also as precursors to a multitude of highly ...
The enzyme nitrogenase is responsible for the binding of nitrogen. One of the most serious problems with the transfer to plants is that nitrogenase is extremely sensitive to atmospheric oxygen ...
Atmospheric nitrogen must first be converted, or 'fixed,' into a form that can be used by plants, often as ammonia. There are only two ways of fixing nitrogen, one industrial and one biological.
The Plant Physiology Laboratory and plant growth facilities span 2,200 square feet and are located on the 11th floor of the CNRC. Under the direction of a USDA plant physiologist, this laboratory is ...
