Cross-species transcriptomics and transgenic analyses implicate major LHCII genes in microalgal responses to ammonium stress

Introduction Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient for photosynthetic organisms, but excessive ammonium causes ammonium toxicity and severely restricts growth. Although ammonium stress has been widely documented, the conserved response modules shared by microalgae and higher plants remain poorly understood. Methods We...
