Aims The capacity of plant roots to directly acquire organic nitrogen (N) in the form of oligopeptides and amino acids from soil is well established. However, plants have poor access to protein, the central reservoir of soil organic N. Our question is: do plants actively secrete proteases to...
How do plants grow in space? An experiment (实验) at the Tiangong space station can provide the answer. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗), which may show us how astronauts can cultivate food to support long-term space flights. “The rice seedlings are growing ...

Qingming Festival, or Tomb-Sweeping Day, usually falls around April 5th when spring is in full bloom. The words "clear" and "bright" describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise, rainfall increases and plants start to grow quicke...
amino acids and many other compounds for other microbes and plants to utilize. Fungi are mostly saprophytes or decomposers, and their role is to release organic nutrients to soil so they can be recycled. This is why mulches are so beneficial to woody plants. Without fungi, forest litter would...
An NADH-GOGAT is also present in some plants, as Medicago sativa, but in this case the enzyme is a 200 kDa monomer that appears to derive from the fusion of both bacterial NADPH-GOGAT subunits because it is similar to the large subunit in its N-terminal domain and to the small subunit...
Medicinal plants Novel Antiviral Secondary metabolites 1. Introduction Extended processes in land plants have resulted in innumerable phenolic compounds from products of the shikimate pathway, namely aromatic amino acids. Many compounds with unique bioactivity have been derived from phenylalanine, via the ph...
How plants or herbal products might effect the body or mind really varies based on the aphrodisiac. "Some examples of effects include increasing hormones like testosterone, or certain neurotransmitters in the brain, or dilating blood vessels to increase blood flow, or affecting molecules in the ...
