Partitioning of reduced nitrogen derived from exogenous nitrate in maize roots: Initial priority for protein synthesis
When roots of five day-old maize seedlings were exposed to 15N-nitrate, a constant (25–29%) proportion of the reduced 15N derived from the entering 15N-nitrate accumulated as insoluble 15N nitrogen. Constancy was...

Expression of the β-subunit of β-conglycinin in seeds of transgenic plants
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seeds contain the storage protein β-conglycinin, encoded by a multigene family. β-Conglycinin consists of three subunits; α′, α, and β. A genomic clone for a β-subunit of β-congly...

Chapter
Morphology, root conductivity, and mineral accumulation of Northwest U.S. tree species in response to acid deposition in artificial soil
The mechanisms of long-term acid rain effects on tree growth have been difficult to elucidate due to the complexity of altered soil processes under acid stress. A solid rooting medium was developed for studyin...
