Li L, Jia L, Duan X, Lv Y, Ye C, Ding C, et al.
New Phytol . 2024 Sep; 244(4):1391-1407. PMID: 39297368
Plant root system is significantly influenced by high soil levels of ammonium nitrogen, leading to reduced root elongation and enhanced lateral root branching. In Arabidopsis, these processes have been reported...

Pelissier P, Parizot B, Jia L, De Knijf A, Goossens V, Gantet P, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2024 Sep; 15:1343073. PMID: 39246813
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants and a major determinant of plant growth and crop yield. Plants acquire nitrogen mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium. Both nitrogen...

Dries E, Meyers Y, Liesner D, Gonzaga F, Becker J, Zakka E, et al.
New Phytol . 2024 Jul; 243(5):1887-1898. PMID: 38984686
The role of maternal tissue in embryogenesis remains enigmatic in many complex organisms. Here, we investigate the contribution of maternal tissue to apical-basal patterning in the kelp embryo. Focussing on...

Carton C, Safran J, Lemaire A, Domon J, Poelmans W, Beeckman T, et al.
Int J Biol Macromol . 2024 May; 269(Pt 2):131918. PMID: 38697418
Polygalacturonases (PGs) can modulate chemistry and mechanical properties of the plant cell wall through the degradation of pectins, one of its major constituents. PGs are largely used in food, beverage,...

Morales-Herrera S, Paul M, Van Dijck P, Beeckman T
Trends Plant Sci . 2024 Apr; 29(10):1066-1076. PMID: 38580543
Sugars derived from photosynthesis, specifically sucrose, are the primary source of plant energy. Sucrose is produced in leaves and transported to the roots through the phloem, serving as a vital...

Zheng L, Hu Y, Yang T, Wang Z, Wang D, Jia L, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Mar; 15(1):2061. PMID: 38448433
Plants are capable of altering root growth direction to curtail exposure to a saline environment (termed halotropism). The root cap that surrounds root tip meristematic stem cells plays crucial roles...

Beeckman F, Drozdzecki A, De Knijf A, Audenaert D, Beeckman T, Motte H
Front Plant Sci . 2024 Jan; 14:1283047. PMID: 38259951
Nitrification is a microbial process that converts ammonia (NH) to nitrite (NO ) and then to nitrate (NO ). The first and rate-limiting step in nitrification is ammonia oxidation, which...

Trends Microbiol . 2023 Nov; 32(6):590-601. PMID: 37973432
Nitrification is a key microbial process in the nitrogen (N) cycle that converts ammonia to nitrate. Excessive nitrification, typically occurring in agroecosystems, has negative environmental impacts, including eutrophication and greenhouse...
