ABSTRACT
On average less than half of the applied N is captured by crops, thus there is scope and need to improve N uptake in cereals. With nitrate (NO3-) being the main form of N available to cereal crops there has been a significant global research effort to understand plant NO3- uptake. Despite this, our knowledge of the NO3- uptake system is not sufficient to easily target ways to improve NO3- uptake. Based on this there is an identified need to better understand the NO3- uptake system and the signalling molecules that modulate it. With strong transcriptional control governing the NO3- uptake system, we also need new leads for modulating transcription of NO3- transporter genes.
