Other claims from this paper (4)
- Mechanism The positive feedback loop acting in the short term increases nitrate intake when roots are exposed to nitrate.
- 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.
