Abstract excerpt
To optimize their nitrogen nutrition, plants are able to direct root growth in nitrate-rich patches. This depends in Arabidopsis on the NRT1.1 nitrate transporter/sensor. NRT1.1 was shown to display on homogenous medium, an auxin transport activity that lowers auxin accumulation in lateral roots and inhibits their growth at low nitrate. Using a split-root system, we explored the hypothesis that preferential...
