The urease inhibitor NBPT negatively affects DUR3-mediated uptake and assimilation of urea in maize roots

Despite the widespread use of urease inhibitors in agriculture, little information is available on their effect on nitrogen uptake and assimilation. Aim of this work was to study, at physiological and transcriptional level, the effects of NBPT on urea nutrition in hydroponically grown maize plants....
