The chapter highlights our current understanding of the molecular determinants of legume nodulation as well as challenges for improvements of biological nitrogen fixation in legumes and non-legumes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second chapter considers the rising use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer in agriculture and its role in the shrinking contribution of soil organic N. The chapter explores the impact of the inefficient management of N (low nitrogen-use efficiency) and the consequent developments of major environmental issues, such as pollution to groundwater, oceans and the atmosphere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe third chapter addresses key issues in using N fertilizers in wheat production, such as product cost and environmental impact. The chapter summarises the development of N-efficient cultivars and their economic benefits, as well as their role in reducing the environmental impact of excessive N fertilizer inputs, whilst maintaining respectable yields. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe final chapter considers the use of breeding techniques, including genetic variability, to develop more efficient wheat varieties with improved traits related to nitrogen capture, nitrogen assimilation and nitrogen remobilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrike Mathesius,Jian Jin,Yansheng Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1801461112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781801461115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Ulrike Mathesius","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520605896959,"sku":"9781801461115","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_273105bd-3ff8-4b36-84d0-3f7e74f0d8f7.jpg?v=1762886076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/instant-insights-ulrike-mathesius-9781801461115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
