By measuring isotope changes between control and treated plants, researchers can determine which metabolic pathways are initiated by the treatment, and by measuring nitrogen and carbon percentages in tissue, they can determine if the plant has taken up more nitrogen, is growing faster, and is more energy efficient.

Evidence Quote

So by measuring those changes in isotopes and comparing them between the control and treated, I can uh have some indications of what kind of metabolic pathways are uh initiated with the treatment... tells you if it has taken up more nitrogen or not. If it's growing faster, if it's more energy efficient.
