Nitrogen Cycle (With Diagram) | Plant Physiology

In this article we will discuss about the Nitrogen Cycle. Nitrogen Cycle: Nitrogen is the fourth most prevalent element in living systems. It is a constituent of a number of organic compounds like amino acids, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acid, hormones, chlorophyll, many vitamins, etc. However, its availabil­ity from soil is limited and even for that plants have to compete with [...]

Notes on Nitrogen Cycle (With Diagram)

Earth's atmosphere is nearly 80% nitrogen (N) but then the element is not sufficiently available to the organisms. It is known that some of the organisms have the capacity to assimilate molecular nitrogen and convert it into assumable form (Fig. 11-1). In general, four main types of organisms are recognized which can assimilate molecular nitrogen. These are symbiotic microorganisms inhabiting [...]
