Nutrition supply affects the activity of pathogenesis-related β-1,3-glucanases and chitinases in wheat
Nitrogen (N) is an essential mineral for plants and both its deficiency and excess causes serious problems in agriculture. As stress-inducible defense is costly, N conditions likely affect the trade-off betwee...
