## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Some authors suggest that nitrate improves the effects of ammonium and urea nutrition on plant growth via an increase in both the root uptake of ammonium and urea, and the further activation of its assimilation. In order to verify these hypotheses, wheat (__Triticum aest

Ammonium markedly inhibited nitrate absorption by nitrogenstarved wheat seedlings but did not decrease the proportion of absorbed nitrate that was reduced. Seedlings high in nitrate (absorbed prior to the experimental periods) reduced similar amounts of this nitrate regardless of whether or not ammo
Photosynthetic ~4CO2 assimilation, ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPC), phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and dry matter (DM) production were examined in wheat under varying levels and forms of nitrogen. 14CO2 assimilation increased gradually after germination reaching a peak value
