Abstract excerpt
Up-regulation of the high-affinity transport system (HATS) for NO(3)(-) and stimulation of lateral root (LR) growth are two important adaptive responses of the root system to nitrogen limitation. Up-regulation of the NO(3)(-) HATS by nitrogen starvation is suppressed in the atnrt2.1-1 mutant of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), deleted for both NRT2.1 and NRT2.2 nitrate transporter genes. We then used this...
