Plant growth-promoting bacteria and nitrate availability: impacts on root development and nitrate uptake

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and NO-3 availability both affect NO-3 uptake and root architecture. The presence of external NO-3 induces the expression of NO-3 transporter genes and elicits lateral root elongation in the part of the root system exposed to the NO-3 supply. By contrast, an in...
