Nitrate Transporter Gene Expression and Kinetics of Nitrate Uptake by Populus × canadensis ‘Neva’ in Relation to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Nitrogen Availability

Plants and other organisms in the ecosystem compete for the limited nitrogen (N) in the soil. Formation of a symbiotic relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may influence plant competitiveness for N. However, the effects of AMF on plant nitrate (NO3–) uptake capacity remain unknown. I...
