NITRATE AND NITROGEN SIMULATION PAGE
April 25, 1996
Introduction
This page contains information about a mathematical model for simulation
of nitrate and nitrogen use by plants. The model and the related grafting
experiments are presented in a paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany
(June 1997).
Fig.1 - The scheme of the model
U - nitrate uptake
NR - nitrate reduction by nitrate reductase
P - carbon uptake (photosynthesis)
Simulations
We offer you several ways of running our model.
Experimental approaches
A visual guide to grafting pea seedlings.
This method is described also in the above mentioned paper.
