Accumulation of some nitrogen compounds in response to salt stress and their relationships with salt tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings (2003, background): “High concentrations of ammonium are toxic to plant cells (Britto and Kronzucker 2002).”
Trade-off between root nitrogen acquisition and shoot nitrogen utilization across 13 co-occurring pasture grass species (2009, background): “However, is toxic in plant cells at a lower concentration than (Britto & Kronzucker 2002).”
Contribution of acidification and eutrophication to declines in species richness of calcifuge grasslands along a gradient of atmospheric nitrogen deposition (2010, background): “They can tolerate high ammonium concentrations without toxic effects and are 337 less efficient at using nitrate (Britto & Kronzucker, 2002).”
Pluses and minuses of ammonium and nitrate uptake and assimilation by phytoplankton and implications for productivity and community composition, with emphasis on nitrogen‐enriched conditions (2016, background): “In fact, many algae and higher plants have lower rates of growth on NH14 than on NO 2 3 (e.g., Raven et al. 1992; Britto and Kronzucker 2002 and references therein).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “The transcript abundance was normalized against peanut Ubiquitin (Luo et al. , 2005) transcript levels.”
Can biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) genes from perennial Leymus racemosus (Triticeae) combat nitrification in wheat farming? (2007, background): “Since cultivated wheat lacks the ability to tolerate and utilize NHþ4 as the sole N source (Britto and Kronzucker 2002), it is crucial that introduction of genes that provide tolerance to NHþ4 is a prerequisite for the introduction of BNI capacity into cultivated wheat.”
Physiological and Molecular Responses of Nitrogen-starved Rice Plants to Re-supply of Different Nitrogen Sources (2006, background): “To assimilate ammonium in plant roots, glutamine synthetase (GS) plays a key role in abating the toxic effect of excess ammonium (Tobin and Yamaya 2001, Britto and Kronzucker 2002).”
Sustainable life support on Mars – the potential roles of cyanobacteria (2015, background): “It also affects pH: nitrate and NH4 + absorption induce, respectively, a release of hydroxyl ions (HO−) and a release of protons (H+), and for some plants NH4 +’s negative effects can be reversed by buffering the medium (Britto & Kronzucker 2002).”
Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice links to NH4+ toxicity and futile NH4+ cycling in roots (2013, background): “Further, more than 22 kinds of plants or plant species, eight of which wild, have been classified as sensitive to the NH4 + source (Britto and Kronzucker 2002; Cruz et al. 2006; Roosta et al. 2009).”
