Ammonium toxicity and the real cost of transport

HJ Kronzucker, DT Britto, RJ Davenport, M Tester - Trends in plant science, 2001 - cell.com
Recently, it has been proposed that ammonium is toxic to barley because of the energetic
cost of pumping ammonium that has leaked into root cells back into the soil. This does not …
