Article Abstract

The study presents the results of a 3-year field trial aimed at assessing the yield and efficiency indicators of nitrogen application in the cultivation of three maize cultivars differing in agronomic and genetic profile. The advantages of the UltraGrain stabilo formulation (NBPT and NPPT) over ammonium nitrate and urea are apparent if a maize cultivar capable of efficient nutrient uptake in the pre-flowering period and effective utilization during the grain filling stage is selected. Therefore, the rational fertilization of maize with urea-based nitrogen fertilizer with a urease inhibitor requires the simultaneous selection of cultivars that are physiologically profiled for efficient nitrogen utilization from this form of fertilizer ("stay-green" cultivar). The interaction of a selective cultivar with a high genetically targeted potential for nitrogen uptake from soil, combined with a targeted selection of nitrogen fertilizer, is important not only in terms of production, but also environmental and economic purposes.

Groundwater nitrate (NO) and sulfate (SO) pollution in semi-arid regions has attracted widespread attention. However, unveiling the dynamics and sources of NO and SO in regional groundwater is challenging because of complex anthropogenic activities and hydrogeological conditions. This study combined physicochemistry and multiple stable isotopes (δH-HO, δO-HO, δN-NO, δO-NO, δS-SO, and δO-SO) to explore the spatiotemporal patterns, driving factors, sources, and potential health hazards of NO and SO in groundwater on the Loess Plateau, China.

While organic manure application effectively increases soil organic carbon (SOC) content, it may elevate greenhouse gas emissions. Crop straw, a widely available agricultural residue, enhances SOC through gradual decomposition. The effect of organic manure combined with crop straw on the organic carbon components of paddy soil is still unclear.

Rising atmospheric CO exposes plants to high-CO environments, while excessive nitrogen fertilizer use degrades soil, highlighting the need to reduce nitrogen input and cultivate vigorous cucumber seedlings under HC-LN conditions. Calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) sense calcium signals and regulate carbon/nitrogen metabolism via CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs), though their roles in cucumber under HC-LN conditions are unclear. Here, we identified seven and 19 genes.

The nitrogen-fixing, chemolithoautotrophic genus is found across numerous diverse environments worldwide and is an important member of many ecosystems. These species serve as model systems for their metabolic properties and have industrial applications in bioremediation and sustainable protein, food and fertilizer production. Despite their abundance and utility, the majority of strains are without a genome sequence, and only eight validly published species are known to date.

Motivation: Heavy usage of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers to satisfy the increasing demands for food has led to severe environmental impacts like decreasing crop yields and eutrophication. One promising alternative is using nitrogen-fixing microorganisms as biofertilizers, which use the nitrogenase enzyme. This could also be achieved by expressing a functional nitrogenase enzyme in the cells of the cereal crops.
