Overview

Efficient nitrate metabolism is vital for healthy plant growth and consequently there is considerable interest in mechanisms of nitrate regulation from both agriculture and industry. This study addresses aspects of both fungal and higher plant nitrate metabolism. The text examines current developments in the genetics and molecular biology of nitrate uptake, reduction and regulation, and identifies research priorities for the future.
