Nickel application influences nitrogen concentration, yield, and grain quality of soybean
Abstract Nickel (Ni) is an essential element in nitrogen (N) metabolism. This study evaluated the effects of foliar fertilization with Ni on the grain yield (GY), yield components, N content, grain protein, and oil content of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr].

ABSTRACT Background Selenium (Se) plays a vital role as a beneficial element in promoting the production of leguminous plants. It influences legume quality by improving crop nutritive value and contributing to human and animal health. Literature Review This review is timely, as there are gaps in understanding Se–rhizobia interactions in legumes, which ...

Summary 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 ...

Control of Allantoin Accumulation in Comfrey
Comfrey, a medicinal herb with healing properties that are attributed to allantoin, was studied in this work. The accumulation and metabolism of allantoin (ALN) and its degradation product, allantoic acid (ALA), were examined.

Abstract The consumption of plant proteins is increasing worldwide as a viable alternative to animal‐derived proteins in the marketplace. The projected increase in global population to at least 10 billion by 2050 is placing greater pressure on the food supply, particularly due to the rising demand for large‐scale protein production.

Metabolism of Purine Alkaloids and Xanthine in Leaves of Maté ()
Accumulation and metabolism of purine alkaloids in leaves of maté ( Ilex paraguariensis ) were investigated. In winter, leaves accumulated caffeine but not theobromine, indicating that caffeine is the end product of purine alkaloid synthesis in maté.
