24-Epibrassinolide promotes NO3- and NH4+ ion flux rate and NRT1 gene expression in cucumber under suboptimal root zone temperature.

24-Epibrassinolide promotes NO3- and NH4+ ion flux rate and NRT1 gene expression in cucumber under suboptimal root zone temperature.
This study investigated the effects of a plant hormone on cucumber seedlings when exposed to suboptimal root zone temperatures. They found that plant resistance can be effectively enhanced, and the absorption, transformation and utilization of nutrients by plants can be improved, thereby improving plant growth quality and increasing crop yield. Ali...

Low Nitrogen Enhances Nitrogen Use Efficiency by Triggering NO3- Uptake and Its Long-Distance Translocation

Low Nitrogen Enhances Nitrogen Use Efficiency by Triggering NO3- Uptake and Its Long-Distance Translocation
It is known that nitrogen is critical for plant growth and crop productivity, but it is also known that as the supply of nitrogen increases, the fraction of applied nitrogen that is absorbed and used by the plant decreases, which results in wasted resources. Thus, scientists such as the ones in this study have been looking to improve a plant's abil...
