Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Soybean cells did not grow on nitrate without ammonium or glutamine.
- Intervention effect The tested amino acid isomers could not replace ammonium for soybean growth.
- Intervention effect Most amino acids inhibited soybean cell growth on nitrate and ammonium.
- Observation Cells from five other plant species grew with nitrate as the sole nitrogen source.
- Intervention effect Ammonium or glutamine increased cell yields in the five other plants.
- Intervention effect High ammonium inhibited Haplopappus cell growth.
- Intervention effect High ammonium inhibited wheat cell growth.
- Intervention effect Citrate relieved ammonium inhibition in soybean cells.
- Intervention effect Citrate relieved ammonium inhibition in wheat cells.
- Intervention effect Citrate did not relieve ammonium inhibition in Haplopappus cells.
