Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation SLAC/SLAH family members were predominantly expressed in roots as well as stomatal guard cells.
- Intervention effect With ammonium as sole nitrogen source, slah3 plants had a greater growth defect than wild type.
- Intervention effect Acidic pH in nitrogen-free medium mimicked ammonium toxicity.
- Association Ammonium toxicity was more severe in slah3 mutants.
- Intervention effect Micromolar nitrate alleviated toxicity, particularly in wild-type plants.
