Nitrogen signalling pathways shaping root system architecture: an update

• Root architecture is shaped through N interactions with primary and lateral roots. • Lateral root development is regulated by both systemic and local N signals. • There are multiple checkpoints in lateral root development subject to N regulation. • Signalling by nitrate, glutamate and the plant�...

• Root architecture is shaped through N interactions with primary and lateral roots. • Lateral root development is regulated by both systemic and local N signals. • There are multiple checkpoints in lateral root development subject to N regulation. • Signalling by nitrate, glutamate and the plant's internal N status are reviewed. • Interactions with auxin signalling are important to N regulation of root branching.
