Symbiotic nitrogen fixation: a launchpad for investigating old and new challenges Open
Legumes establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms within root nodules, a process regulated by complex signalling, gene expression, and energy balance. In this Virtual …

The tonoplast localized protein <span>PtNPF1</span> participates in the regulation of nitrogen response in diatoms Open
Summary Diatoms are a highly successful group of phytoplankton, well adapted also to oligotrophic environments and capable of handling nutrient fluctuations in the ocean, particularly nitrate. The presence of a large vacuole is an importan…

LjNRT2.3 plays a hierarchical role in the control of high affinity transport system for root nitrate acquisition in Lotus japonicus Open
Nitrate is a key mineral nutrient required for plant growth and development. Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to respond to changes of nutritional availability in the surrounding environment and the optimization of root nitrate…

The Lotus japonicus AFB6 Gene Is Involved in the Auxin Dependent Root Developmental Program Open
Auxin is essential for root development, and its regulatory action is exerted at different steps from perception of the hormone up to transcriptional regulation of target genes. In legume plants there is an overlap between the developmenta…

The Lotus japonicus NPF3.1 Is a Nodule-Induced Gene That Plays a Positive Role in Nodule Functioning Open
Nitrogen-fixing nodules are new organs formed on legume roots as a result of the beneficial interaction with the soil bacteria, rhizobia. Proteins of the nitrate transporter 1/peptide transporter family (NPF) are largely represented in the…

Integrative omics identification, evolutionary and structural analysis of low affinity nitrate transporters in diatoms, diNPFs Open
Diatoms are one of the major and most diverse groups of phytoplankton, with chimeric genomes harbouring a combination of genes of bacterial, animal and plant origin. They have developed sophisticated mechanisms to face environmental variat…

The functional characterization of <i>LjNRT2.4</i> indicates a novel, positive role of nitrate for an efficient nodule N<sub>2</sub>‐fixation activity Open
Summary Atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) ‐fixing nodules are formed on the roots of legume plants as result of the symbiotic interaction with rhizobia. Nodule functioning requires high amounts of carbon and energy, and therefore legumes have dev…

Meta-Omics Reveals Genetic Flexibility of Diatom Nitrogen Transporters in Response to Environmental Changes Open
Diatoms (Bacillariophyta), one of the most abundant and diverse groups of marine phytoplankton, respond rapidly to the supply of new nutrients, often out-competing other phytoplankton. Herein, we integrated analyses of the evolution, distr…

The Hydrophobin HYTLO1 Secreted by the Biocontrol Fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum Triggers a NAADP-Mediated Calcium Signalling Pathway in Lotus japonicus Open
Trichoderma filamentous fungi are increasingly used as biocontrol agents and plant biostimulants. Growing evidence indicates that part of the beneficial effects is mediated by the activity of fungal metabolites on the plant host. We have i…
