The activity of the high-affinity nitrate transport system I (NRT2;1, NAR2) is responsible for the efficient signalling of nitrate assimilation genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Abstract excerpt

The expression of nitrite uptake activity and the induction of transcripts from several nitrate assimilation genes (Nii1, Nrt2;1, Nrt2;3, and Nar1) have been analysed in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dang. strains bearing several sets of genes encoding nitrate transport systems. Different nitrate concentrations resulted in a differential induction pattern of nitrite uptake activity depending on which particular...
