Abstract excerpt
Root NO3- uptake and expression of two root NO3- transporter genes (Nrt2;1 and Nrt1) were investigated in response to changes in the N- or C-status of hydroponically grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Expression of Nrt2;1 is up-regulated by NO3 - starvation in wild-type plants and by N-limitation in a nitrate reductase (NR) deficient mutant transferred to NO3- as sole N source. These observations show that...
