Researchers from the National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR) have demonstrated that reducing nitric oxide (NO) levels in plants can significantly enhance nitrogen uptake and Nitrogen Use ...

On Earth, excess nitrogen contributes to soil, water, and air pollution. Released into the atmosphere in the form of nitrous oxide, it depletes the ozone layer and exacerbates climate change.

including nos genes, which are expressed under anaerobic conditions even in the absence of nitrogen oxides as electron acceptors. "We hypothesize that this feature may contribute to efficient ...
