Transporters Involved in Root Nitrate Uptake and Sensing by Arabidopsis
Most plants use nitrate (NO3-) as their major nitrogen (N) source. The NO3- uptake capacity of a plant is determined by three interdependent factors that are sensitive to NO3- availability: (i) the functional properties of the transporters in roots that contribute to the acquisition of NO3- from the external medium, (ii) the density of functional transporters at the plasma membrane of root cell...
متن کاملNutrient Uptake by Woody Root Systems
The fine-root system of perennial, dicot woody species can be dominated by brown roots. Although as much as 90% of the surface area of a root system can be in this category of roots, the nutrient uptake characteristics of brown roots are not well understood. If this part of the root system has active uptake, then its significance is obvious. If it does not then modelling predictions of nutrient...
متن کاملNitrate uptake and induction of nitrate reductase in excised corn roots.
The characteristics of nitrate uptake and induction of nitrate reductase were studied in excised roots of corn (Zea mays L.). Upon initial exposure to nitrate, the low initial rate of nitrate uptake gradually increased until a steady uptake rate was achieved in 1 to 2 hours depending on the NO(3) (-) concentration. The pattern was observed over a wide range (0.2-5 mm) of nitrate concentrations ...
متن کاملSignal interactions in the regulation of root nitrate uptake.
In most aerobic soils, nitrate (NO3(-)) is the main nitrogen source for plants and is often limiting for plant growth and development. To adapt to a changing environment, plants have developed complex regulatory mechanisms that involve short and long-range signalling pathways in response to both NO3(-) availability in the soil and other physiological processes like growth or nitrogen (N) and ca...
متن کاملNitrate translocation by detopped corn seedlings.
Five-day-old seedlings of corn (Zealpha mays L.) grown without nitrate were decapitated and exposed to 0.5 mm KNO(3) or 0.5 mm KCl in aerated solutions at 30 C. Uptake of nitrate, chloride, and potassium was determined by replacing solutions hourly and measuring their depletion. Translocation of these ions and of organic nitrogen was determined by hourly analysis of the vascular exudate. Nitrat...
