• Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “The basic mechanisms for converting nitrate to ammonium, amino compounds, proteins, pigments and nucleic acids are well established (Miflin and Habash, 2002; Good et al., 2004; Lea and Azevedo, 2007; Hirel et al., 2007).”
• Amino Acid Catabolism in Plants. (2015, background): “In particular, asparagine, glutamine, and arginine are used as nitrogen storage and transport compounds (Miflin and Habash, 2002).”
• Heterotrophic cultures of microalgae: metabolism and potential products. (2011, background): “Glutamine synthetase, known for its high affinity for ammonia and its ability to incorporate ammonia efficiently into amino acids (Miflin and Habash, 2002) is an important enzyme in any photosynthetic organism, even under heterotrophic metabolism.”
• Nitrogen Assimilation and its Relevance to Crop Improvement (2010, methodology): “These reflect the central role of GS in nitrogen metabolism as shown in Figure 1.3 (Miflin & Habash, 2002) in which ammonia is assimilated, released and reassimilated numerous times between the uptake of nitrogen from the environment and its eventual deposition in the protein stores of the seed.”
• Integrating micro-algae into wastewater treatment: A review. (2021, background): “An auxiliary pathway in the regulation of NH4 assimilation into amino acids was identified as the reversible reductive amination of 2oxoglutarate regulated by the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) (Miflin and Habash, 2002).”
• Nickel-induced depression of nitrogen assimilation in wheat roots (2009, background): “Further assimilation of ammonium is considered to occur mainly via the combined action of glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT, EC 1.4.1.14 for NADHGOGAT, EC 1.4.7.1 for Fd-GOGAT) (Miflin and Habash 2002).”
• Yield enhancement genes: seeds for growth. (2005, neutral): “The efficiency of nitrogen use has also been a target for crop improvement, but this subject is not discussed here as it has recently been reviewed elsewhere [1,2].”
• Differential Effects of a Bacillus megaterium Strain on Lactuca sativa Plant Growth Depending on the Origin of the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Coinoculated: Physiologic and Biochemical Traits (2008, result): “Miflin and Habash (2002) proposed a strong correlation between GS activity and crop yield, which is in agreement with our results.”
