Yu et al. provide divergent transcriptome pattern of lateral root initiation in response to local high nitrate using LCM-RNA-Seq. Notably, brace roots displayed an exceptional architectural plasticity compared to other root types and highlighted differences in the functional adaptability to heterogeneous distributed nitrate.
