Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation NLP7 accounts for 85% of the transcriptional interaction between nitrogen and water deficit pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana
- Observation Nitrogen supply and water deficit signaling show overlapping and often opposing gene expression responses in Arabidopsis thaliana
- Observation NLP7 is identified by regulatory network modeling as a central integrator of convergent transcriptional responses
- Association NLP7 directly downregulates the expression of HB6, NAC6 and NAP
- Association NLP7 directly downregulates the expression of WRKY18
- Observation Repression of secondary TFs by NLP7 has distinct downstream effects on gene expression
- Intervention effect Loss of NLP7 enhances water deficit tolerance relative to wild-type plants
- Intervention effect Loss of NLP7 increases water retention relative to wild-type plants
- Intervention effect Loss of NLP7 reduces ABA-mediated stomatal aperture relative to wild-type plants
