NRT1.1 (source code)
= NRT1.1
{c}
<NRT1.1>, also called CHL1 or NPF6.3, is an <Arabidopsis thaliana> <nitrate> transporter with a nutrient-sensing role. Its nitrate-dependent effects on <auxin> transport connect external <nitrogen> availability to lateral-root development.
Changing transport or regulation can therefore alter root architecture as well as the amount of <nutrient> entering a <biological cell>. Experiments comparing <nitrate> conditions and <auxin> responses tested this connection, rather than inferring it solely from a growth correlation.<Nitrate-regulated auxin transport by NRT1.1 defines a mechanism for nutrient sensing in plants by Gabriel Krouk and others>[2010, abstract and pp. 927–937]{ref}
