Characterization of high-affinity nitrate and nitrite transporters in Arabidopsis thaliana
Nitrite is a potential nitrogen source in the environment. Algae and fungi posses nitrite-specific transporters, whereas plant counterparts have not been identified. Because nitrate transporters can take up nitrite, I used nitrate uptake-defective Arabidopsis mutants to eliminate the masking effect...
