9. 2), nitrogen acquisition by one side of a split-root system is repressed by high N supply to the other side. However, the regulatory gene networks targeted by these signals, as well as the functional response of the nitrogen acquisition systems, are predominantly determined by the nature of the nitrogen source.

Differential regulation of the expression of two high-affinity sulfate transporters, SULTR1.1 and SULTR1.2, in Arabidopsis. Plant Physiol 147 (2008) 897-911. This paper showed that the regulation of SULTR1.1 and SULTR1.2 depends on different signaling pathways, and the interplay between SULTR1.1 and SULTR1.2 may be an important mechanism by which sulfate content is controlled in the root.
