ABSTRACT: Alternatives for the destruction of common military explosives, including trinitrotoluene; hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine; and octahydro-1,3,5,7 tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) are being investigated in the post-cold war period. One alternative combines chemical treatment (i.e., base hydrolysis of the explosives) and biological treatment (i.e., denitrification of the hydrolysate). This paper focuses on results of the biological part of the treatment process, during whi...

Regulation of the High-Affinity NO^sub 3^^sup -^ Uptake System by NRT1.1-Mediated NO^sub 3^^sup -^ Demand Signaling in Arabidopsis[W]
Plant Physiology ; The NRT2.1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a major component of the root high-affinity NO^sub 3^^sup -^ transport system (HATS) that plays a crucial role in NO^sub 3^^sup -^ uptake by the plant. Although NRT2.1 was known to be induced by NO^sub 3^^sup -^ and feedback repressed by reduced
