Variation in the ureide content of Jack Bean during the reproductive stages in response to nitrate [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009 Nitrogen is frequently the limiting mineral nutrient for plant productivity and it is essential to obtain an understanding of how this element is assimilated and its metabolism regulated, in crop plants.

Crystal Structure of Allantoinase from Escherichia coli BL21: A Molecular Insight into a Role of the Active Site Loops in Catalysis [PDF]
Molecules, 2023 Allantoinase (ALLase; EC 3.5.2.5) possesses a binuclear metal center in which two metal ions are bridged by a posttranslationally carbamylated lysine. ALLase acts as a key enzyme for the biogenesis and degradation of ureides by catalyzing the conversion ...

Inhibition of rhizobial cheaters by the host Medicago truncatula involves repression of symbiotic functions and induction of defense. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary In symbiotic plant–microbe interactions, the host invests considerable amounts of resources in the microbial partner. If the microbe does not reciprocate with a comparable symbiotic benefit, it is regarded as a cheater. The host responds to cheaters with negative feedback mechanisms (sanctions) to prevent fitness deficits resulting from being ...

Drought Stress Modifies the Source-Sink Dynamics of Nitrogen-Fixing Soybean Plants Prioritizing Roots and Nodules. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Soybean plants are one of the most cultivated legume crops worldwide. Their ability to establish nitrogen‐fixing symbiosis with rhizobium bacteria allows the reduction of molecular nitrogen to ammonium, contributing to a reduction in the dependence on nitrogen fertilizers.
