- Mechanism High-affinity nitrate acquisition in plant roots is governed by two feedback loops of opposite signs, termed the Incoherent FeedBack loop.
- Mechanism The negative feedback loop reduces nitrate acquisition in the long run by inhibiting transporter synthesis.
- Method / resource The proposed model fits the experimental data well.
- Method / resource The model is structurally stable for all possible parameters under some technical assumptions.
