Regulating Nitrate absorption in Plants

July 10 , 2022 873 days 565 0
  • Researchers discovered a new pathway that regulates nitrate absorption in plants.
  • They investigated a miR444 target gene called MADS27, a transcription factor that has previously received little attention.
  • The micro-RNA, miR444, activates the Gene MADS27.
  • That regulates nitrate absorption, root development, and stress tolerance.
  • Thus provides a way to control these plant properties.
  • The gene MADS27 appears to be an excellent candidate for modification in order to improve nitrogen use efficiency.
