Journal ArticleDOI
Futile transmembrane NH4(+) cycling: a cellular hypothesis to explain ammonium toxicity in plants.
TL;DR: A cell-physiological characterization of NH is presented and acquisition in two major cereals, barley (Hordeum vulgare), known to be susceptible to toxicity, and rice (Oryza sativa), known for its exceptional tolerance to even high levels of NH.
Journal ArticleDOI
The regulation of nitrate and ammonium transport systems in plants

TL;DR: The characterization of transporter function in higher plants is currently being inferred from patterns of gene expression in roots and shoots, as well as through studies of heterologous expression systems and knockout mutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies of the uptake of nitrate in barley. I. Kinetics of 13NO3- influx.
TL;DR: (13)NO(3) (-) influx in the high concentration range revealed a strictly linear concentration dependence and fluxes appeared to be mediated by a constitutive, rather than an inducible, transport system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ammonium Uptake by Rice Roots (II. Kinetics of 13NH4+ Influx across the Plasmalemma).
TL;DR: Short-term influxes of 13NH4+ were measured in intact roots of 3-week-old rice seedlings that were hydroponically grown at 2, 100, or 1000 [mu]M NH4+.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of NO3- Influx in Spruce
TL;DR: Influxes of 13NO3- across the root plasmalemma were measured in intact seedlings of Picea glauca (Moench) Voss and three kinetically distinct uptake systems for NO3- were identified.
