## 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
Nitrate reduction in roots and shoots and exchange of reduced N between organs were quantitatively estimated in intact 13-d-old seedlings of two-row barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Daisengold) using the l SN-incorporation model (A. Gojon et al. (1986) Plant Physiol. 82, 254-260), except that NH2 was
## Application. Cutting the tap root of oak seedlings had little effect on shoot growth but markedly changed the structure of the root system. Results suggest that the use of undercutting to stimulate the production of a good fibrous root system can begin at the end of the first flush of growth af
