In Fusarium fujikuroi, the production of gibberellins and bikaverin is repressed by nitrogen sources such as glutamine or ammonium. Sensing and uptake of ammonium by specific permeases play key roles in nitrogen metabolism. Here, we describe the cloning of three ammonium permease genes, mepA, mepB, and mepC, and their participation in ammonium uptake and signal transduction in F. fujikuroi. The...

abstractabout 30 to 50 percent of applied nitrogen fertilizers leached from soil to ground waters which can causes environment contamination and various human health problems. the rotation type can affect nitrogen mobility rate, so it is necessary to study effect of rotation type in on nitrogen movement. in order to evaluate effects of three main rotations in khuzestan province on inorganic for...

We aimed to identify the early stress response and plant performance of Medicago truncatula growing in axenic medium with ammonium or urea as the sole source of nitrogen, with respect to nitrate-based nutrition. Biomass measurements, auxin content analyses, root system architecture (RSA) response analyses, and physiological parameters were determined. Both ammonium and ureic nutrition severely ...

Gene methylation is an important mechanism regulating gene expression and genome stability. Our previous work showed that methylation of the nitrate reductase (NR) gene NIA2 was dependent on chromomethylase 3 (CMT3). Here, we show that CMT3-mediated NIA2 methylation is regulated by ammonium in Arabidopsis thaliana. CHG sequences (where H can be A, T, or C) were methylated in NIA2 but not in NIA...

We examine the formation of nitrate and ammonium on five types of externally mixed pre-existing aerosols using the hybrid dynamic method in a global chemistry transport model. The model developed here predicts a similar spatial pattern of total aerosol nitrate and ammonium to that of several pioneering studies, but separates the effects of nitrate and ammonium on pure sulfate, biomass burning, ...

The Acid Deposition Control Title (IV) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments calls for reductions in annual sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions in order to “reduce the adverse effects of acid deposition,” without addressing emissions of ammonia. Ammonia is present in precipitation and aerosols as the ammonium cation, NH4. Ammonium is rich in nitrogen and together with nitrate comprises v...
