Abstract
Although plants or plant parts can be cultured on various organic nitrogen forms, particularly amino acids, under natural conditions the majority of plants depend upon inorganic nitrogen sources. Exceptions to this may be various parasitic and semi-parasitic plants which may be provided with organic nitrogenous nutrients of host origin, and insectivorous plants which partially satisfy their nitrogen demands by utilizing organic nitrogen constituents released by lysis of trapped insects.
