The distinction between CLC ion channels and ion exchangers has ... but one function is evidently to concentrate nitrate in plant vacuoles. Moreover, chloride channels were pre-viously considered ...

The protein NRT1.1 transports nitrate ions into plants over a wide range of concentrations. Two studies provide structural insight into this unusual behaviour, but give different explanations for it.

Plants utilise nitrate or ammonium in the environment ... soil and water contains low amounts of ammonium and nitrate ions, suggesting the existence of a negative regulator dependent on these ...

The plant ensures water is safe to drink for ... The utility said the nitrate removal facility captures the nitrate ions in the water in a process similar to how a home water softener removes ...

Nitrogen is a critical element for the plants growing in your garden. They need nitrogen to help them with photosynthesis, the process by which plants get energy from the sun. The ...

The gene MADS27, which regulates nitrate absorption, root development and stress tolerance, is activated by the micro-RNA, miR444, therefore offers a way to control these properties of the plant.

AtCLCf functions as a chloride ion (Cl ‑) efflux channel on the plasma membrane, enhancing the plant’s salinity tolerance. The images show Arabidopsis plant protoplasts (cells without their ...
