Nitrate dynamics in natural plants: Insights based on the concentration and natural isotope abundances of tissue nitrate
The dynamics of nitrate (NO3-), a major nitrogen (N) source for natural plants, has been studied mostly through experimental N addition, enzymatic assay, isotope labeling, and genetic expression. However, artificial N supply may not reasonably reflect the N strategies in natural plants because NO3-...
