Ammonium nutrition interacts with iron homeostasis in <i>Brachypodium distachyon</i> Open
Most plant species develop stress symptoms when exposed to high ammonium (NH4+) concentrations. The root is the first organ in contact with high NH4+ and therefore the first barrier to cope with ammonium stress. In this work, we focused on…
