Altered Cell Wall Plasticity Can Restrict Plant Growth under Ammonium Nutrition

Altered Cell Wall Plasticity Can Restrict Plant Growth under Ammonium Nutrition

Plants mainly utilize inorganic forms of nitrogen (N), such as nitrate (NO3–) and ammonium (NH4+). However, the composition of the N source is important, because excess of NH4+ promotes morphological disorders. Plants cultured on NH4+ as the sole N source exhibit serious growth inhibition, commonly...
