Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...

Statistical and In-field Challenges Involved in Quantifying Crop Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) and Spatial Soil Fertility in Central Alberta
DownloadSpring 2020
Modern agriculture faces the conundrum of a looming threat of food scarcity and heightened pressure on natural resources to address and sustain increasing food demand. Improving nutrient use efficiency is crucial to sustainable food production. It can be helpful in tackling this critical...
