Nitrate transporters are primarily responsible for absorption of nitrate from soil and nitrate translocation among different parts of plants. They deliver nitrate to where it is needed. However, recent studies have revealed that nitrate transporters are extensively involved in coping with adverse environmental conditions besides limited nitrate/nitrogen availability. In this review, we describe the functions of the nitrate transporters related to abiotic stresses and their regulation. The expected and unexpected roles of nitrate transporters in plant abiotic stress resistance will also be discussed.
硝酸盐转运蛋白主要负责从土壤中吸收硝酸盐和在植物不同部位之间进行硝酸盐转运，从而将硝酸盐运送到需要的地方。然而，最近的研究表明，硝酸盐转运蛋白除了在有限的硝酸盐/氮供应情况下，还广泛参与应对不利的环境条件。在这篇综述中，我们描述了与非生物胁迫相关的硝酸盐转运蛋白的功能及其调控。此外，我们还将讨论硝酸盐转运蛋白在植物非生物胁迫抗性中的预期和意外作用。
