Nitrogen acquisition by roots: physiological and developmental mechanisms ensuring plant adaptation to a fluctuating resource

P Nacry, E Bouguyon, A Gojon - Plant and Soil, 2013‏ - Springer
Background Nitrogen (N) is one of the key mineral nutrients for plants and its availability has
a major impact on their growth and development. Most often N resources are limiting and …

Perception of root-derived peptides by shoot LRR-RKs mediates systemic N-demand signaling

R Tabata, K Sumida, T Yoshii, K Ohyama, H Shinohara… - Science, 2014‏ - science.org
Nitrogen (N) is a critical nutrient for plants but is often distributed unevenly in the soil. Plants
therefore have evolved a systemic mechanism by which N starvation on one side of the root …

Control of the rhizobium–legume symbiosis by the plant nitrogen demand is tightly integrated at the whole plant level and requires inter-organ systemic signaling

M Lepetit, R Brouquisse - Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023‏ - frontiersin.org
Symbiotic nodules formed on legume roots with rhizobia fix atmospheric N2. Bacteria reduce
N2 to NH4+ that is assimilated into amino acids by the plant. In return, the plant provides …
