Abstract excerpt
To compete for nutrients in diverse soil microenvironments, plants proliferate lateral roots preferentially in nutrient-rich zones. For nitrate, root foraging involves local and systemic signaling; however, little is known about the genes that function in the systemic signaling pathway. By using nitrate enhancer DNA to screen a library of Arabidopsis transcription factors in the yeast one-hybrid system, the...
