Article Synopsis
- Nitrate signaling significantly enhances plant growth when nitrate availability is limited, improving crop production efficiency.
- The study identifies NLP2 as an important transcriptional regulator that works alongside NLP7, sharing key features and target genes necessary for nitrate response.
- NLP2 specifically regulates carbon and energy-related processes in response to nitrate, demonstrating how NLP2 and NLP7 collaborate in a complex network that connects nitrogen assimilation with overall plant metabolism and growth.
The regulation of signalling capacity, combined with the spatiotemporal distribution of developmental signals themselves, is pivotal in setting developmental responses in both plants and animals. The hormone auxin is a key signal for plant growth and development that acts through the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) transcription factors. A subset of these, the conserved class A ARFs, are transcriptional activators of auxin-responsive target genes that are essential for regulating auxin signalling throughout the plant lifecycle.
