Nitrate regulates anchor root development
Nitrogen is a critical nutrient necessary for plant growth and survival. Plasticity in root architecture helps adapt to soil nitrogen levels for optimal nitrogen uptake; the nitrate form of soil nitrogen is a major modulator of root architecture. Although details of nitrate-regulated primary and lateral root growth are known, nitrate-regulated formation of anchor roots, which arise from the…
