“…Plant response to N availability has been widely studied in Arabidopsis as well as in crop species, most often focusing only on ample, limiting, and scarcity conditions [14,16,19,37,38]. With this study, we quantified the Arabidopsis response to an ampler set of nutrition regimes, ranging from 0.01 mM up to 50 mM NO 3 , taking into account genotype features.…”

Abstract:Mineral nutrient availability and in particular nitrogen abundance has a huge impact on plant fitness and yield, so that plants have developed sophisticated adaptive mechanisms to cope with environmental fluctuations. The vast natural variation existing among the individuals of a single species constitutes a great potential to decipher complex traits such as nutrient use efficiency. By using natural accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana that differ for their pattern of adaptation to nitrogen stress, we investigated the plant response to nitrate supplies ranging from 0.01 mM up to 50 mM nitrate. The biomass allocation and the different nitrogen pools in shoot and in roots were monitored to establish the nutrition status of each plant. Analysis of variation for these traits revealed genetic differences between accessions for their sensibility to nitrate availability and for their capacity to produce shoot biomass with the same nitrogen nutrition index. From the correlation matrix of all traits measured, a statistical model was formulated to predict the shoot projected area from the nitrate supply. The proposed model points out the importance of genetic variation with respect to the correlation between root thickness and amino acids content in roots. The model provides potential new targets in plant breeding for nitrogen use efficiency.

“…Using systems biology approaches, attempts have been made to integrate the different “omics” studies in order to distinguish regulatory networks. Ultimately, this has allowed the identification of certain biological components involved in the control of plant productivity, notably vegetative biomass and grain yield, as well as resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses (Cañas et al., ; Fukushima, Kanaya, & Nishida, ; Sheth & Thaker, ).…”

The human body contains approximately 3.2% nitrogen (N), mainly present as protein and amino acids. Although N exists at a high concentration (78%) in the air, it is not readily available to animals and most plants. Plants are however able to take up both nitrate (NO ) and ammonium (NH ) ions from the soil and convert them to amino acids and proteins, which are excellent sources for all animals. Most N is available as the stable isotope N, but a second form, N, is present in very low concentrations. N can be detected in extracts of plants by gas chromatography followed by mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In this protocol, the methods are described for tracing the pathway by which plants are able to take up N-labeled nitrate and ammonium and convert them into amino acids and proteins. A protocol for extracting and quantifying amino acids and N enrichment in maize (Zea mays L.) leaves labeled with NH is described. Following amino acid extraction, purification, and separation by GC/MS, a calculation of the N enrichment of each amino acid is carried out on a relative basis to identify any differences in the dynamics of amino acid accumulation. This will allow a study of the impact of genetic modifications or mutations on key reactions involved in primary nitrogen and carbon metabolism. © 2018 by John Wiley& Sons, Inc.

In the past, the beneficial effects of fermented fruits were unknown, and so people primarily used fermentation to preserve fruits, enhance shelf life, and improve flavor. Fermentation of fruits has been adopted over many generations, primarily due to their commercial significance. Edible tropical fruits such as, cashew apple, mangoes, papaya, pineapple, litchi, guava, bael, banana, pomegranate, jamun and palm etc. with high export potential have their origin in the tropics and require rather suitable climatic conditions; and can not tolerate environmental stress. Most of the tropical fruits are important sources of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and form a very healthy part of a diet. An effective utilisation of inferior grade and over-ripe fruits and processing them into fermented beverages has been revealed as a new and promising alternative to generate extra revenues whilst conducting a sustainable exploitation of wastes. In addition, microorganisms contributing to the fermentation process have recently been associated with many health benefits, and so these microorganisms have become another focus of attention. This paper reviews the production techniques and beneficial health effects of different fermented fruits. Scientific advances in the emerging area of functional beverages; as they provide a health benefit beyond the basic nutritional functions also reported in this paper.
