Abstract

Most plants use nitrate (NO3(-)) as their major nitrogen (N) source. The NO3(-) uptake capacity of a plant is determined by three interdependent factors that are sensitive to NO3(-) availability: (i) the functional properties of the transporters in roots that contribute to the acquisition of NO3(-) from the external medium, (ii) the density of functional transporters at the plasma membrane of root cells, and (iii) the surface and architecture of the root system. The identification of factors that regulate the NO3(-)-sensing systems is important for both fundamental and applied science, because these factors control the capacity of plants to use the available NO3(-), a process known as the "nitrate use efficiency." The molecular component of the transporters involved in uptake and sensing mechanism in Arabidopsis roots are presented and their relative contribution discussed.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 September 2016.
All research outputs
#17,817,005
of 22,889,074 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#12,092
of 20,291 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#229,799
of 320,659 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#213
of 408 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,889,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,291 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,659 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 408 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
