Exploiting crop genotype-specific root-soil interactions to enhance agronomic efficiency

Frontiers in Soil Science, 2023
Challenges of soil degradation and changing climate pose major threats to food security in many parts of the world, and new approaches are required to close yield and nutrition gaps through enhanced agronomic efficiency.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Nitrogen management in grasslands and forage-based production systems – Role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2013
Nitrogen (N), the most critical and essential nutrient for plant growth, largely determines the productivity in both extensive and intensive grassland systems.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Metabolome fingerprinting reveals the presence of multiple nitrification inhibitors in biomass and root exudates of Thinopyrum intermedium

Plant-Environment Interactions
Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI) encompasses primarily NH4+‐induced release of secondary metabolites to impede the rhizospheric nitrifying microbes from performing nitrification.

Research Progress Related to Sorghum Biological Nitrification Inhibitors

Agronomy
To meet the growing population’s demand for food, humans have introduced large amounts of nitrogen fertilizers into agricultural systems, resulting in highly nitrified environments in most farmland soils. In highly nitrified environments, the application

Biological nitrification inhibitor-trait enhances nitrogen uptake by suppressing nitrifier activity and improves ammonium assimilation in two elite wheat varieties

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Synthetic nitrification inhibitors (SNI) and biological nitrification inhibitors (BNI) are promising tools to limit nitrogen (N) pollution derived from agriculture.

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics

Soil Nitrification Rate Is Affected by Plant Species and Nitrogen Levels

Agriculture
The soil nitrification rate is significantly affected by plant species, and it is also modulated by different nitrogen levels in the soil. There are a wide range of plant species with the capacity to produce biological nitrification inhibitors (hereafter
