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 (NO3â) being the main form of N available to cereal crops there has been a significant global research effort to understand plant NO3â uptake. Despite this, our knowledge of the NO3â uptake system is not sufficient to easily target ways to improve NO3â uptake. Based on this there is an identified need to better understand the NO3â uptake system and the signalling molecules that modulate it. With strong transcriptional control governing the NO3â uptake system, we also need new leads for modulating transcription of NO3â transporter genes.
