Why is it that nitrogen is often a limiting plant nutrient, despite the fact that the atmosphere is 80% nitrogen gas (N2)

1 answer:

6 0

Nitrogen is a limiting plant nutrient because the bulk of the available nitrogen in the atmosphere is not usable by plants.

Plants are not able to make use of the nitrogen in the atmosphere directly. Atmospheric nitrogen needs to be converted into usable forms before it can be accessed by plants.

The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to usable form by plants is known as nitrogen fixation and this is achievable by the activities of certain bacteria.

Chimeric mice are generated where approximately 50% of the cells in the animal are genetically MHC class I-deficient.

Firdavs [7]

Chimeric mice are generated where approximately 50% of the cells in the animal are genetically MHC class I-deficient. The other 50% are deficient for the herpes virus receptor, HVEM, but do express MHC class I molecules. When these mice are infected with herpesvirus by intraperitoneal injection, a robust virus-specific CD8 T cell response is detected at day 7 post-infection in the spleens of the infected mice.
