A comprehensive understanding of plant metabolism could provide a direct mechanism for improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in crops. One of the major barriers to achieving this outcome is our poor understanding of the complex metabolic networks, physiological factors, and signaling mechanisms that affect NUE in agricultural settings. However, an exciting collection of computational and expe...

BACKGROUND Patients with early stage breast cancer with same treatment strategy can have markedly different outcomes. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/nue) gene amplification or the subsequent overexpression of protein has been proved to be associated with patient's outcome and response to anthracyclins-based regimens. OBJECTIVES This study assessed prognostic value of HER2/nue ...

Alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT, E.C. 2.6.1.2), is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent (PLP) enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of an amino group from alanine to 2-oxoglutarate to produce glutamate and pyruvate, or vice versa. It has been well documented in both greenhouse and field studies that tissue-specific over-expression of AlaAT from barley (Hordeum vulgare, HvAlaAT) results in...

Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in the major cereals is critical for more sustainable nitrogen use in high-input agriculture, but our understanding of the potential for NUE improvement is limited by a paucity of reliable on-farm measurements. Limited on-farm data suggest that agronomic NUE (AE(N)) is lower and more variable than data from trials conducted at research stations, on which ...

conclusions this study on a limited number of patients treated with adjutant anthracyclins-based regimens, revealed that her2/neu is not a unique strong predictor for outcome, thus according to combination of her2/neu status and other clinical factors, it is necessary to distinguish patients at high risk of recurrence. results her2/neu amplification was identified in 19 (38%) of 50 patients. no...

Since nitrogen (N) is the most essential nutrient for plants and a major limiting factor in plant productivity, doubling agricultural food production worldwide over the past four decades is associated with a 20-fold increase in N fertilizer use. As a consequence, use of N fertilizers in agriculture has already shown a number of detrimental environmental impacts. Therefore, the need to reduce N ...

High nitrogen application aimed at increasing crop yield is offset by higher production costs and negative environmental consequences. For wheat, only one third of the applied utilized, which indicates there scope for Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE). However, achieving greater NUE challenged complexity trait, comprises processes associated with uptake, transport, reduction, assimilation, transloc...

This study aimed to identify suitable predictors of nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE; milk N/N intake) for cows that differed in breeds and were fed with ryegrass pasture, using existing data from the scientific literature. Data 16 studies used develop models based on relationships between NUE dietary animal-based factors. a further 10 model validation. Milk urea N (MUN) water-soluble carbohydr...

Background: Improvement of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) chemical fertilizers and N-rich-organic amendments using natural mineralization inhibitors, like neem extract, was recommended to minimize (N) loss. This study hence aimed evaluate the effects combined uses seed extract with cricket feces on soil N plant NUE. Methods: The treatment combinations included i) amending materials involving una...

Nitrate transporter (NRT) is responsible for the molecular mechanism of root nitrate (NO3-) uptake system plant development. Although several NRT genes are identified and characterised in plants, knowledge NRT2 gene family its nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) function drought stress has remained elusive rice. This study conducted an silico analysis on 20 rice, wheat, soybean, barley, maize, papaya...
