Emergence of tolerance and avoidance strategies from local and systemic responses to nitrogen: insights from modelling of auxin-mediated root plasticity

Jie Lu, Jin L. Wang, Alejandro Morales, Jochem B. Evers

The paper models auxin-mediated root plasticity to show how local and systemic responses to nitrogen influence uptake and use, revealing a trade-off between avoidance and tolerance strategies.
