Abstract excerpt
NRT1.1 is a putative nitrate sensor and is involved in many nitrate-dependent responses. On the other hand, a nitrate-independent function of NRT1.1 has been implied, but the clear-cut evidence is unknown. We found that NRT1.1 mutants showed enhanced tolerance to concentrated ammonium as sole N source in Arabidopsis thaliana. This unique phenotype was not observed in mutants of NLP7, which has been suggested to...
