Abstract
It is of practical importance to investigate genetics of ion uptake by plant roots, because breeding of crops with efficient uptake and use of nutrient ions is one of the goals for low-input crop production. In particular, many attentions have been paid on the uptake of nitrogen (Wray 1988, Crawford 1995). Recent advances have revealed that both nitrate and ammonium are absorbed into plant cells mediated by ion-specific transporter(s) in the plasma membrane of root epidermis cells. The genes encoding nitrate and ammonium transporter have been cloned and sequenced in several plant species (Tsay et al. 1993, Ninnemann et al. 1994, Trueman et al. 1996, Quesada et al. 1997, Tanaka et al. 1998).
