Proposed model for the nitrate response in the maize root TZ. After nitrate supply, the transcription of a wide set of genes is regulated. This reprogramming in the transcriptome could be translated as a proteome rearrangement. The transcriptome change could be dependent on both nitrate itself or on some NR-derived product, such as NO, which was confirmed to represent a key signal in the root nitrate response. These molecular events could be implicated in the physiological adaptation of plants to nitrate fluctuations in soil.
