Genome-wide expression profiling of leaves and roots of watermelon in response to low nitrogen

Abstract Background Nitrogen (N) is a key macronutrient required for plant growth and development. In this study, watermelon plants were grown under hydroponic conditions at 0.2 mM N, 4.5 mM N, and 9 mM N for 14 days. Results Dry weight and photosynthetic assimilation at low N (0.2 mM) was reduced b...
