Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although nitrogen (N) availability is a major determinant of cotton production, little is known about the importance of plants' preference for ammonium versus nitrate for better growth and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). We aimed to assess the growth, physiology, and NUE of contrasting N-efficient cotton genotypes (Z-1017, N-efficient and GD-89, N-inefficient) supplied with low and high concentrations...
