A recent study reveals how plants activate a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-driven signaling pathway to adapt to low nitrate ...

For many years, scientists believed rising CO₂ levels would help Earth’s plants significantly slow climate change. As carbon dioxide increased in the atmosphere, plants were expected to grow faster ...

CO2 can stimulate plant growth, but only when enough nitrogen is available—and that key ingredient has been seriously ...

Climate change also alters nitrogen in soils and plants, shaping food quality, water safety, and pollution risks worldwide.

Organic nitrogen is important for plant growth, but too much of it can cause a range of problems. Over-fertilization, improper composting, or runoff from nearby agricultural areas can all contribute ...

Climate change is not only warming the planet and disrupting rainfall, it is also quietly rewiring the way nitrogen moves ...

Considered natural allies against climate change due to their absorption of carbon dioxide, plants may however offer more ...

New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has found that nitrate from plant sources is associated with a lower risk of mortality while nitrate from other sources such as animal-based foods, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In order to monitor the nitrate assimilation capability of mire plants, in vivo current and maximally induced nitrate reductase activity (NRA) ...

A fire at the Weaver Fertilizer Plant in Winston-Salem, N.C. forced 6,500 local residents to evacuate late Monday night and into early Tuesday morning. The lawn and garden fertilizer plant is home to ...
