Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Reducing urea by 25% with surface biochar significantly increased active root absorption area, fresh weight and nitrogen agronomic efficiency.
- Association GOGAT activity was closely related to urea/biochar application depth.
- Intervention effect Application in the 0-10 cm layer increased GOGAT activity.
- Intervention effect GPT activity increased significantly with the urea/biochar treatment.
- Intervention effect Cytokinin stimulated nitrate reductase activity in very fine roots.
- Intervention effect AMT1;1, gdh3 and gdh2 were significantly upregulated in very fine roots with 25% reduced urea and biochar.
- Intervention effect Surface biochar with 25% reduced urea significantly affected nitrogen assimilation efficiency in cotton seedlings.
- Mechanism Co-expression of gdh3 and gdh2 in fine roots increased nitrogen agronomic efficiency.
- Mechanism Synergistic ammonium transporter and gdh3 expression suggests biochar may benefit amino acid metabolism.
