Nitrite promotes the growth and decreases the lignin content of indica rice calli: a comprehensive transcriptome analysis of nitrite-responsive genes during in vitro culture of rice.

As both major macronutrients and signal molecules, nitrogen metabolites, such as nitrate and nitrite, play an important role in plant growth and development. In this study, the callus growth of indica rice cv. 9311 was significantly enhanced by nitrite, whereas the soluble protein content remained u...
