Abstract
In this article, we propose a change of paradigm where ammonium nutrition may be considered not exclusively as an undesirable situation for plant performance, but as a way to provoke changes in plant metabolism that can be beneficial for crop quality and plant physiology. While some of the positive effects of ammonium referred here still require further evaluation, the cross-tolerance induction of NH+4 to certain subsequent stresses, notably salinity, is clear. However, the molecular actors governing these interactions are almost completely unknown, and future works will be essential in order to fully exploit the benefits of ammonium-based fertilizers.
