Molecular mechanism underlying the plant NRT1.1 dual-affinity nitrate transporter
Nitrate (NO3−) is one of the most important sources of mineral nitrogen, which also serves as a key signaling molecule for plant growth and development. To cope with nitrate fluctuation in soil that varies by up to four orders of magnitude, plants have evolved high- and low-affinity nitrate transpor...
