Nitrogen is an important macronutrient for plant growth and development. Research has long been carried out to elucidate the mechanisms involved in nitrogen uptake, assimilation, and utilization in plants. However, despite recent advances, many of these mechanisms still are not fully understood. In this special issue, several research articles and two reviews, all of them aiming to elucidate some specific aspects of nitrogen (N) metabolism, are presented. Together, the articles in this issue provide a state-of-the-art perspective on important questions related to nitrogen metabolism in photosynthetic organisms, highlighting the fundamental importance of research in this field.
氮是植物生长发育所需的重要大量营养素。长期以来,人们一直在开展研究以阐明植物吸收、同化和利用氮的相关机制。然而,尽管最近取得了进展,但其中许多机制仍未被完全理解。在本期特刊中,发表了几篇研究文章和两篇综述,所有这些文章都旨在阐明氮代谢的一些特定方面。本期的文章共同提供了关于光合生物中与氮代谢相关重要问题的最新观点,突出了该领域研究的根本重要性。
