nitrogen, plant-pathogen, signal moleculeAbstract
Aspects such as sustainability, efficiency, environmental protection, and the health of living beings are currently relevant within mineral nutrition, which enables the production of crops that provide food for the world's population. However, in this study, we highlight the importance of nitrogen because it is the mineral element that has the greatest impact on crop yields. We address its importance in mineral nutrition, in cellular biostructures where it plays important roles, in yields, and finally, its role as a signal molecule in plant-pathogen interactions.
