A structural view and understanding of NPF (nitrate transport) protein activity in maize

This PhD project will develop and analyse high quality crystallised proteins of the nitrate/chloride transport proteins ZmNPF6;4, ZmNPF6;4 (Y370H) and ZmNPF6;6. The goal will be to more...

Define regulatory control pathways delivering NPF (nitrate) and AMT (ammonium) transport activities across root types and cell profiles

We have previously identified the tissue expression patterns of ZmNPF6;6 and ZmNPF6;4 in maize root tips (Wen, Z., et al., The Plant Cell, 2017) and used qPCR as well as custom arra more...
