Abstract:
... Because soil acidification accompanies ammonium (NH4+) stress, the tolerance of higher plants to ammonium is associated with their adaptation to root medium acidification. However, the underlying mechanisms of this adaptation have not been fully elucidated. The objective of this study was thus to elucidate the effect of rhizosphere pH on NH4+ tolerance in different winter wheat cultivars (Triticum ...
