The Combination of RNA and Protein Profiling Reveals the Response to Nitrogen Depletion in Thalassiosira pseudonana

Abstract Nitrogen (N) is essential for the growth of algae, and its concentration varies greatly in the ocean, which has been regarded as a limitation for phytoplankton growth. Despite its great importance, most of the existing studies on the mechanisms underlying the effects of N on diatoms have fo...
