P.1 2nd paragraph: "As a crucial component of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, chlorophyll and several plant hormones, nitrogen (N) represents a key macronutrient for crop productivity [ref 1]. Its availability influences major plant processes such as growth, development, architecture, flowering, senescence, photosynthesis, and allocation of photosynthates in plants [ref 2]. It is well known that most diffused cereal crop plants, like wheat, rice and maize, use only 30–40% of the applied N fertilizers, while the rest remains unused causing severe environmental pollution [primary source], with eutrophication of water and enrichment of NOx gases in the atmosphere [ref 4]. The newly formed and released nitrous oxide has 300 times more global warming effect than carbon dioxide [ref 5]." |
