Abstract
Nitrate (NO3-) is a significant inorganic nitrogen source in soil, playing a crucial role in influencing crop productivity. As sessile organisms, plants have evolved complex mechanisms for nitrate uptake and response to varying soil levels. Recent advancements have enhanced our understanding of nitrate uptake and signaling pathways. This mini-review offers a comparative analysis of nitrate uptake mechanisms in Arabidopsis and rice. It also examines nitrate signal transduction, highlighting the roles of AtNRT1.1 and AtNLP7 as nitrate receptors and elucidating the OsNRT1.1B-OsSPX4-OsNLP3 cascade. Additionally, it investigates nuclear transcriptional networks that regulate nitrate-responsive genes, controlled by various transcription factors (TFs) crucial for plant development. By integrating these findings, we highlight mechanisms that may help to enhance crop nitrogen utilization.
期刊介绍:
Physiologia Plantarum is an international journal committed to publishing the best full-length original research papers that advance our understanding of primary mechanisms of plant development, growth and productivity as well as plant interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment. All organisational levels of experimental plant biology – from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics to ecophysiology and global change biology – fall within the scope of the journal. The content is distributed between 5 main subject areas supervised by Subject Editors specialised in the respective domain: (1) biochemistry and metabolism, (2) ecophysiology, stress and adaptation, (3) uptake, transport and assimilation, (4) development, growth and differentiation, (5) photobiology and photosynthesis.
