INCREASE IN SEED PRODUCTION FROM NITROGEN FERTILIZATION OF NATIVE BEARDLESS WHEATGRASS

Efficiency of nitrogen fertilization in spring wheat

An assessment of the nitrogen fertilization efficiency should not only include quantitativeand qualitative yield changes, but also an analysis of formation some indicators such as: Nharvest index (NHI), N use efficiency (NUE), N utilization efficiency (NUtE), N agronomicefficiency (NAE), N physiological efficiency (NPE) and N apparent recovery fraction (NRF).The objective of the study was the e...

Auxin production following fertilization drives early seed development in Arabidopsis

Nitrogen Sources for Bean Seed Production '

Beans (Phase()las valgtais L.) often respond to N fertilization; however, N fertilization is not practiced for maximum seed production in southern Idaho. This suggests that the symbiotic relationship and/or soil N sources can provide most of the N needed by this legume. Our objective was to evaluate the relative contribution of the symbiotic-nonsymbiotic N sources by studying the effects of N f...

Additional Nitrogen Fertilization at Heading Time of Rice Down-Regulates Cellulose Synthesis in Seed Endosperm

The balance between carbon and nitrogen is a key determinant of seed storage components, and thus, is of great importance to rice and other seed-based food crops. To clarify the influence of the rhizosphere carbon/nitrogen balance during the maturation stage of several seed components, transcriptome analysis was performed on the seeds from rice plants that were provided additional nitrogen fert...
