Exploiting protein modification systems to boost crop productivity: SUMO proteases in focus.

abstract：:The composition of the translocates reaching the seeds of pea plants having various nitrogen (N) nutrition regimes was investigated under field situations. Sucrose flow in the phloem sap increased with the node number, but was not significantly different between N nutrition levels. Because N deficiency reduced the num...
