Nitrate modulates pectin metabolism and cell wall mechanics during cell expansion in Arabidopsis
Nitrate increases HG abundance and reduces PME activity via NRT1.1- and NLP7-dependent pathways. Enhanced pectin methylesterification softens the cell wall, facilitating cotyledon cell expansion. Thi...
