Abstract excerpt
Folates are essential cofactors that bridge carbon and nitrogen metabolism. However, the role of specific folate derivatives in regulating nitrogen homeostasis remains poorly understood. Here, we characterize the link between folate metabolism and nitrogen sensing using the Arabidopsis thaliana atdfb mutant. We show that atdfb exhibits a disrupted folate profile, characterized by a deficiency in main metabolic...
