CLCaE203A expression pattern indicates a decrease in endogenous nitrate but an increase in malate concentration. Endogenous nitrate contents (A) in shoots (left) and roots (right), inorganic anion (B), potassium (C), and malate (D) concentrations in the shoots of Ws-2, clca-2, clca-2/35S:CLCaE203A, and clca-2/35S:CLCa plants grown hydroponically as described in the legend of Figure 2. Data represent the means ± sem of two experiments (n = 2–9 plants per experiment). Statistical analysis as in Figure 3.
