Autophagic activity acts as a rheostat in the control of nitrogen transfer from Arabidopsis rosette leaves to the seeds according to a principle of communicating vessels

This study shows autophagy regulates nitrogen transfer from Arabidopsis leaves to seeds, with over-expressors performing better under nitrate sufficiency and mutants showing defects in nitrogen remobilization and seed production.

Autophagy is essential for optimal Fe translocation to seeds in Arabidopsis

This study shows autophagy is necessary for efficient iron and other micronutrient translocation to seeds in Arabidopsis.
