The Arabidopsis nitrate transporter NRT1.8 functions in nitrate removal from the xylem sap and mediates cadmium tolerance.
Long-distance transport of nitrate requires xylem loading and unloading, a successive process that determines nitrate distribution and subsequent assimilation efficiency. Here, we report the functional characterization of NRT1.8, a member of the nitrate transporter (NRT1) family in Arabidopsis thaliana. NRT1.8 is upregulated by nitrate. Histochemical analysis using promoter-beta-glucuronidase f...
متن کاملThe Arabidopsis ATNRT2.7 nitrate transporter controls nitrate content in seeds.
In higher plants, nitrate is taken up by root cells where Arabidopsis thaliana NITRATE TRANSPORTER2.1 (ATNRT2.1) chiefly acts as the high-affinity nitrate uptake system. Nitrate taken up by the roots can then be translocated from the root to the leaves and the seeds. In this work, the function of the ATNRT2.7 gene, one of the seven members of the NRT2 family in Arabidopsis, was investigated. Hi...
متن کاملInhibition of nitrate transporter 1.1-controlled nitrate uptake reduces cadmium uptake in Arabidopsis.
Identification of mechanisms that decrease cadmium accumulation in plants is a prerequisite for minimizing dietary uptake of cadmium from contaminated crops. Here, we show that cadmium inhibits nitrate transporter 1.1 (NRT1.1)-mediated nitrate (NO3 (-)) uptake in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and impairs NO3 (-) homeostasis in roots. In NO3 (-)-containing medium, loss of NRT1.1 function in...
متن کاملArabidopsis nitrate transporter NRT1.9 is important in phloem nitrate transport.
This study of the Arabidopsis thaliana nitrate transporter NRT1.9 reveals an important function for a NRT1 family member in phloem nitrate transport. Functional analysis in Xenopus laevis oocytes showed that NRT1.9 is a low-affinity nitrate transporter. Green fluorescent protein and β-glucuronidase reporter analyses indicated that NRT1.9 is a plasma membrane transporter expressed in the compani...
متن کاملThe nitrate transporter AtNRT1.1 (CHL1) functions in stomatal opening and contributes to drought susceptibility in Arabidopsis.
The movement of guard cells in stomatal complexes controls water loss and CO(2) uptake in plants. Examination of the dual-affinity nitrate transporter gene AtNRT1.1 (CHL1) revealed that it is expressed and functions in Arabidopsis guard cells. CHL1 promoter-beta-glucuronidase and CHL1 promoter-green fluorescent protein constructs showed strong expression in guard cells, and immunolocalization e...
