Abstract
Four low-affinity (NRT1), and seven high-affinity (NRT2) nitrate transporter gene homologues have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. We investigated the transcript abundances of all eleven genes in shoot and root tissues in response to the provision of 1 mM NO(3)(-), using relative quantitative RT-PCR. Based upon this criterion, genes were classified as nitrate-inducible, nitrate-repressible, or nitrate-constitutive. AtNRT1.1, 2.1, and 2.2 were strongly induced by NO(3)(-), peaking at 3-12 h and subsequently declining. By contrast AtNRT2.4 showed only modest induction both in shoots and roots. Expression of AtNRT2.5, one of the nitrate-repressible genes, was strongly suppressed by nitrate provision in both roots and shoots. The last group, characterized by a constitutive expression pattern, included AtNRT1.2, 1.4, 2.3, 2.6, and 2.7. Correlation coefficients between (13)NO(3)(-) influx from 100 micro M and 5 mM [NO(3)(-)], suggest that high- and low-affinity transport systems are mediated primarily by AtNRT2.1 and AtNRT1.1, respectively. Functional roles for the other members of these families remain uncertain.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
