TLDR

Arabidopsis NITRATE TRANSPORTER 2.5 (NRT2.5) is a plasma membrane-localized high-affinity nitrate transporter playing an essential role in adult plants under severe nitrogen starvation and becomes the most abundant transcript amongst the seven NRT2 family members in shoots and roots of adult plants after long-term starvation.
