Jeremy D Murray's research group discovered the regulatory mechanism of alfalfa's preference for nitrogen uptake

On September 15, 2021, The EMBO Journal published an online publication entitled "MtNPF6.
5 mediates chloride uptake and nitrate preference" by the Jeremy Murray Research Group of the State Key Laboratory of Plant Molecular Genetics and the Anthony J Miller Laboratory of the John Innes Centre in the United Kingdom.

The study found that MtNPF6.

Plant is achieved by regulation of ion transport proteins of NO 3 - preference absorption, which is an essential feature of the regulation of plant ion homeostasis, but we know little about, in particular, have a major impact on plant growth and development of the monovalent anion NO The steady-state regulation of 3 - and Cl - is still unclear
.
The authors of this article have made breakthroughs in the study of this problem by using the legume model plant Medicago truncatula

Xiao Qiying, assistant researcher of the Jeremy Murray Research Group of the State Key Laboratory of Plant Molecular Genetics , Chen Yi, a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Professor JIC Anthony Miller in the United Kingdom, and Liu Chengwu, a professor of the University of Science and Technology of China, are the co-first authors.
Researchers Jeremy Murray and Professor Anthony J Miller are the co-corresponding authors
