Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Nitrate strongly enhanced root expression of genes related to nitrate transport, assimilation and carbon metabolism.
- Intervention effect Most root amino acids, phosphorus compounds and organic acids rose about twofold under nitrate.
- Intervention effect Most nodule amino acids, phosphorus compounds and organic acids decreased under nitrate.
- Intervention effect Nodule asparagine increased exceptionally under nitrate.
