Abstract:
The nitrate transceptor NRT1.1 detects external nitrate levels to regulate nitrate-induced transcriptional responses, auxin transport, and phosphate starvation responses in plants. A study by Ma et al.1 redefines our understanding of abscisic acid (ABA) perception and reveals NRT1.1 as a signaling hub that integrates the nutrient status with abiotic stresses.
