Crop management strategies that improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) increase profits while reducing the detrimental effects on the environment associated with fertilizer nitrogen (N) loss. Effective N management should include several critical factors that are very interrelated. A study was conducted at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center, Goodwell, OK to evaluate the effects of multi...

Background: Improvement of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) chemical fertilizers and N-rich-organic amendments using natural mineralization inhibitors, like neem extract, was recommended to minimize (N) loss. This study hence aimed evaluate the effects combined uses seed extract with cricket feces on soil N plant NUE. Methods: The treatment combinations included i) amending materials involving una...

Cellular pH homeostasis is fundamental for life, and all cells adapt to maintain this balance. In plants, the chemical form of nitrogen supply, nitrate and ammonium, is one of the cellular pH dominators. We report that the rice nitrate transporter OsNRT2.3 is transcribed into two spliced isoforms with a natural variation in expression ratio. One splice form, OsNRT2.3b is located on the plasma m...

Nitrate transporter (NRT) is responsible for the molecular mechanism of root nitrate (NO3-) uptake system plant development. Although several NRT genes are identified and characterised in plants, knowledge NRT2 gene family its nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) function drought stress has remained elusive rice. This study conducted an silico analysis on 20 rice, wheat, soybean, barley, maize, papaya...

enhancing nitrogen use efficiency is one of the most important strategies for improving productivity in agriculture and reducing risk of environmental pollutions in sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effects of different levels of organic manure and chemical fertilizer on nitrogen uptake efficiency (nupe), nitrogen utilization efficiency (nute) and nitrogen use efficiency (nue) of i...

Abstract Low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is ubiquitous in agricultural systems, with mounting global scale consequences for both atmospheric aspects of climate and downstream ecosystems. Since NUE-related soil characteristics such as water holding capacity organic matter are likely to vary at small scales (< 1 ha), understanding the influence on NUE subfield 32 ha) could increase fertilize...

Plantations are typically monocultures, which limits their sustainability. Therefore, understanding acclimatization strategies and resource use efficiencies in plant species life forms aids the improvement of vegetation diversity ecological functions. Here, 19 from forest plantations Fangshan, Beijing, China were studied. We determined net photosynthetic (Pn), transpiration rates (E), light res...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production requires a large amount of nitrogen (N) supply because growers aim to achieve high grain yield and appropriate protein content simultaneously. A comprehensive understanding the mechanisms that underpin efficient N usage at limited in wheat can facilitate development new N-saving varieties this major crop. Here, we performed comparative analysis flag leaf ...
