Nitrogen isotope discrimination (Δ15N) may have utility as an indicator of nitrogen use in plants. A simple Δ15N-based isotope mass balance (IMB) model has been proposed to provide estimates of efflux/influx (E/I) ratios across root plasma membranes, the proportion of inorganic nitrogen assimilation in roots (P root) and translocation of inorganic ...

Synthetic nitrification inhibitors (SNI) and biological nitrification inhibitors (BNI) are promising tools to limit nitrogen (N) pollution derived from agriculture. Modern wheat cultivars lack sufficient capacity to exude BNIs, but, fortunately, the chromosome region (Lr#n-SA) controlling BNI production in Leymus racemosus, a wild relative of wheat...

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE)–a major complication of liver disease–has been found to increase the risk of olfactory dysfunction, which may be attributed to elevated levels of ammonia/ammonium in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying hyperammonemia-induced olfactory dysfunction remain unclear. By performing pa...

Soil nitrogen forms are important for exotic plant invasions. However, little effort has been made to study the molecular mechanisms underlying the utilization of different N forms in co-occurring invasive and native plants. The invasive plant Xanthium strumarium prefers nitrate relative to ammonium, and mainly invades nitrate-dominated environment...

Few studies explore the effects of nitrogen forms on exotic plant invasions, and all of them are conducted from the perspective of nitrogen form utilization without considering the effects of ammonium toxicity. The invasive plant Xanthium strumarium prefers to use nitrate, while its native congener X. sibiricum prefers to use ammonium, and the inva...

Modification of aluminosilicate minerals using a R4N+-bearing organic modifier, through the formation of covalent bonds, is an applicable way to eliminate the modifier release and to maintain the ability to remove cationic pollutants. In this study, trimethyl [3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] ammonium chloride (TM) and/or dimethyl octadecyl [3-(trimetho...

Pacific hagfish are exceptionally tolerant to high environmental ammonia (HEA). Here, we elucidated a cellular mechanism that enables hagfish to actively excrete ammonia against steep ammonia gradients expected to be found inside a decomposing whale carcass. Hagfish were exposed to varying concentrations of HEA in the presence or absence of environ...

The triclinic structures of poly[(μ4-4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylato)di-μ-hydroxido-dicobalt], [Co2(C14H8O4)(OH)2] n , and poly[(μ4-4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylato)di-μ-hydroxido-dinickel], [Ni2(C14H8O4)(OH)2] n , were established using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. These structures, as well as that of poly[(μ4-4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylato...

In the modern era, problems like eutrophication caused by increased nutrients such as ammonia and phosphorous in freshwater bodies have become the cause of freshwater ecosystem deterioration. To save freshwater by reducing eutrophication, new cost-effective strategies and methods are urgently needed. In this study, titanium oxide nanoparticles disp...

Ecological traits of aquatic microorganisms have been poorly investigated in tropical latitudes, especially in lagoons, which are often subjected to strong anthropogenic influence, conducive to microbial development. In this study, we examined the abundance of both viral and bacterial communities, as well as their interactions (lytic and lysogenic ...
