This book covers all aspects of the transfer of nitrogen from the
soil and air to a final resting place in the seed protein of a crop
plant. It describes the physiological and molecular mechanisms of
ammonium and nitrate transport and assimilation, including
symbiotic nitrogen fixation by the Rhizobiacea. Amino acid
metabolism and nitrogen traffic during plant growth and development
and details of protein biosynthesis in the seeds are also
extensively covered. Finally, the effects of the application of
nitrogen fertilisers on plant growth, crop yield and the
environment are discussed.
Written by international experts in their field, "Plant" "Nitrogen"
is essential reading for all plant biochemists, biotechnologists,
molecular biologists and physiologists as well as plant breeders,
agricultural engineers, agronomists and phytochemists.

This volume covers the most significant advances of the last ten
years in understanding intermediary nitrogen metabolism in plants.
The eight chapters comprise aspects of nitrate and nitrogen
assimilation, symbiotic nitrogen fixation, glutamine and glutamate
enzymology, amino acid biosynthesis, ureides, and polyamine and
sulfur metabolism. The volume emphasizes molecular and genetic
advances as well as biochemistry and physiology. Intermediary
Nitrogen Metabolism will be of interest to all plant biochemists
and molecular geneticists who study nitrogen metabolism,
enzymology, and amino acids.
