Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient and its bioavailability plays a major role in how plant development is tuned to environmental nutrient status. To find novel factors in early root system architecture responses to N conditions, we performed Arabidopsis thaliana root transcriptome profiling of a short-term time course in limiting and sufficient N conditions. Using this data, we inferred transcriptional regulatory networks in each condition, which revealed the N-condition specific responses of jasmonate regulation; transcriptional factor (TF) ERF107 plays a more generalized role in lateral root development while TF LBD13 is specific to N-limiting conditions. Further, we used a single cell LR cell-type specific transcriptome dataset to model and analyze the roles of TFs LBD13, ERF107, and PDF2 in early stages of LR development. Linking the N time course transcriptomics, LR mutant phenotypes, and cell-type specific single cell profiling, these approaches provide multiple lines of evidence to find and test the roles of TFs that are involved in early root patterning responses to N conditions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
