A Toggle Switch in Plant Nitrate Uptake
نویسندگان
چکیده
In plants, the uptake of nitrate from the soil is a critical process controlled by complex regulatory networks that target nitrate transporters in the roots. In this issue, Ho et al. (2009) show that phosphorylation of the CHL1 nitrate transporter allows the plant root to sense and respond to different nitrate concentrations in the soil.

Effect of AtNRT2.1 transgene on HATS nitrate uptake in transgenic Nicotiana plumbaginifolia
To investigate the impact of overexpression of AtNRT2.1 transgene from Arabidopsis on nitrate uptake rate and to understand the regulation of endogenous HATS by nitrate and glutamine amino acid (Gln) in tobacco plants, wild-type and transgenic (F line) plants grown on soil for 4 weeks were transferred to hydroponic culture in a controlled-environment with a 16/8h L:D photoperiod at 24?

متن کاملUptake and nitrate accumulation affected by partial replacement of nitrate-N with different source of amino acids in spinach and lettuce
As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Change in enzymes activities of N assimilation (NR, NiR and GS), residual nitrate (NO3-), soluble protein content, and yield of spinach and lettuce plants were investigated under replacing 20% nitrate-N in the nutrient solution by L-glycine and blood meal amino acids. Seeds of the mention...
متن کاملRelationship between Nitrate Uptake, Flux, and Reduction and the Accumulation of Reduced Nitrogen in Maize (Zea mays L.): II. EFFECT OF NUTRIENT NITRATE CONCENTRATION.
Two maize hybrids were grown under growth chamber conditions on solution or vermiculite medium that contained 2.5, 7.5, or 15 millimolar nitrate. The objectives were to determine: (a) the effect of nitrate supply on N metabolism and growth and (b) the interrelationship between nitrate uptake, flux, and reduction on the accumulation of reduced N and nitrate by the various plant parts and for the...
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 کاملCHL1 is a dual-affinity nitrate transporter of Arabidopsis involved in multiple phases of nitrate uptake.
Higher plants have both high- and low-affinity nitrate uptake systems. These systems are generally thought to be genetically distinct. Here, we demonstrate that a well-known low-affinity nitrate uptake mutant of Arabidopsis, chl1, is also defective in high-affinity nitrate uptake. Two to 3 hr after nitrate induction, uptake activities of various chl1 mutants at 250 microM nitrate (a high-affini...
