Fig. 1. — Nitrate transporters are in the epidermis of root segments which integrate to form a plant root system. NRT1.1 is shown from Parker and Newstead (2014), with permission from Macmillan Publishers Ltd: Nature Molecular basis of nitrate uptake by the plant nitrate transporter NRT1.1. © (2014). The root segment shows the experimental unit for measuring uptake kinetics, with a focal root segment being placed within a PVC chamber. A SimRoot rendering of a typical maize root system that integrates nitrate kinetics and root system architecture. The simulation is at 40 d of age, and is colored by I _max where warmer colors indicate greater I _max.
