Cellular pH homeostasis is fundamental for life, and all cells adapt to maintain this balance.
In plants, the chemical form of nitrogen supply, nitrate and ammonium, is one of the cellular …

To counteract fluctuating nutrient environments, plants have evolved high‐and low‐affinity
uptake systems. These two systems were traditionally thought to be genetically distinct, but …

OsNRT1. 1a is a low‐affinity nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene. In this study, another mRNA
splicing product, OsNRT1. 1b, putatively encoding a protein with six transmembrane …

The mineral nutrient needed in greatest abundance by plants is nitrogen. Plants, however,
must compete for nitrogen in the soil with abiotic and biotic processes such as erosion …

Enhancing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in crop plants is an important breeding target to
reduce excessive use of chemical fertilizers, with substantial benefits to farmers and the …

To investigate the regulation of HvNRT2, genes that encode high-affinity NO3− transporters
in barley (Hordeum vulgare) roots, seedlings were treated with 10 mm NO3− in the presence …

Several different cellular processes determine the size of the metabolically available nitrate
pool in the cytoplasm. These processes include not only ion fluxes across the plasma …
