“…These included NAR2.1(NRT3.1), encoding a protein required for NRT2.1-mediated transport activity (Orsel et al, 2006), NRT2.2 and NRT1.1, which encode NO 3 2 transporters involved in root NO 3 2 uptake (Tsay et al, 1993, Li et al, 2007, NIA1 and NIA2, encoding the two isoforms of the nitrate reductase apoprotein (Cheng et al, 1988, Wilkinson and Crawford, 1991, and AMT1.1, AMT1.2, and AMT1.3, encoding NH 4 + transporters contributing to root NH 4 + uptake (Loque et al, 2006, Yuan et al, 2007. NAR2.1 has been reported to be regulated similarly to NRT2.1 (Krouk et al, 2006;Okamoto et al, 2006).…”
