Abstract excerpt
Plants are dependent on exogenous nitrogen (N) supply. Ammonium (NH₄(+)), together with nitrate (NO₃(-)), is one of the main nitrogenous compounds available in the soil. Paradoxically, although NH4 (+) assimilation requires less energy than that of NO₃(-), many plants display toxicity symptoms when grown with NH₄(+) as the sole N source. However, in addition to species-specific ammonium toxicity, intraspecific...
