Preface

Peter J Lea, Jean-François Morot-Gaudry and Bertrand Hirel

The review articles presented here were invited contributions from scientists who presented papers at the 6th International Symposium on Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation, held in Reims, France from 8–12 July 2001. The symposium was supported by the European Nitrate Ammonium Assimilation Group (ENAAG), the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the French Society of Plant Physiology (SFPV), EUROPOL'AGRO, the Federation of European Societies of Plant Physiology (FESPP), the Conseil Régional de la Région Reims Champagne Ardennes, and the City of Reims, to whom we are grateful. We also thank our partners SECMA Bio, the Fohs Foundation and Aventis Crop Science for their sponsorship. However, with respect to this Special Issue, we are indebted to generous financial contributions from both the Society for Experimental Biology (SEB) and the Journal of Experimental Botany (JXB). The aim of the symposium was to present our current knowledge and prospects for future development in the field of inorganic nitrogen assimilation of plants, including molecular, biochemical, ecophysiological, and agronomical aspects. In this Special Issue we have traced the path of nitrogen from uptake from the soil to the final deposition in the seed storage proteins and assessed the implications that such nitrogen will have on the final yield.

We wish to thank the authors for submitting their manuscripts on time (well almost all of them!) and, in particular, the referees for carrying out their duties with speed (again almost all of them), diligence and attention to detail. We apologize to both groups for harassing them, when the production deadlines came nearer. The Editorial Office staff of the Journal of Experimental Botany (Mary Traynor, Jane Basterfield, Caroline Wilkinson, and Raquel Gonzalez Cuesta) have been particularly helpful and deserve our highest praise for their considerable contribution to the production of this Special Issue. Their guidance and support has been much appreciated.
