Passive nitrate transport by root plasma membrane vesicles exhibits an acidic optimal pH like the H(+)-ATPase.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The net initial passive flux (J(Ni)) in reconstituted plasma membrane (PM) vesicles from maize (Zea mays) root cells was measured as recently described (P. Pouliquin, J.-P. Grouzis, R. Gibrat ¿1999 Biophys J 76: 360-373). J(Ni) in control liposomes responded to membrane potential or to NO(3)(-) as expected from the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz diffusion theory. J(Ni) in reconstituted PM vesicles exhibited an additional component (J(Nif)), which was saturable (K(m) for NO(3)(-) approximately 3 mM, with J(Nifmax) corresponding to 60 x 10(-9) mol m(-2) s(-1) at the native PM level) and selective (NO(3)(-) = ClO(3)(-) > Br(-) > Cl(-) = NO(2)(-); relative fluxes at 5 mM: 1:0.34:0.19). J(Nif) was totally inhibited by La(3+) and the arginine reagent phenylglyoxal. J(Nif) was voltage dependent, with an optimum voltage at 105 mV at pH 6.5. The activation energy of J(Nif) was high (129 kJ mol(-1)), close to that of the H(+)-ATPase (155 kJ mol(-1)), and J(Nif) displayed the same acidic optimal pH (pH 6.5) as that of the H(+) pump. This is the first example, to our knowledge, of a secondary transport at the plant PM with such a feature. Several properties of the NO(3)(-) uniport seem poorly compatible with that reported for plant anion channels and to be attributable instead to a classical carrier. The physiological relevance of these findings is suggested.
