Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Repression of GmUPS1-1 and GmUPS1-2 in nodules leads to an accumulation of ureides.
- Intervention effect Repression of GmUPS1-1 and GmUPS1-2 in nodules decreases nitrogen partitioning to roots and shoot.
- Intervention effect In RNAi UPS1 plants, nodule development, nitrogen fixation and nodule metabolism are negatively affected.
- Observation Both transporters are present in the plasma membrane and expressed in nodule cortex cells and vascular endodermis.
- Mechanism Export of ureides from nodules is mediated by UPS1 proteins.
- Mechanism Activity of the transporters is essential for shoot nitrogen supply and also for nodule development and function.
