Popis: Under appropriate culture conditions, plant cells can regenerate new organs or even whole plants. De novo organ regeneration is an excellent biological system, which usually requires additional growth regulators, including auxin and cytokinin. Nitrate is an essential nutrient element for plant vegetative and reproductive development. It has been reported that nitrate is involved in auxin biosynthesis and transport throughout the growth and development of plants. In this study, we demonstrated that the ectopic expression of the MdNLP7 transcription factor in Arabidopsis could regulate the regeneration of root explants. MdNLP7 mainly participated in the regulation of callus formation, starting with pericycle cell division, and mainly affected auxin distribution and accumulation in the regulation process. Moreover, MdNLP7 upregulated the expression of genes related to auxin biosynthesis and transport in the callus formation stage. The results demonstrated that MdNLP7 may play a role in the nitrate-modulated regeneration of root explants. Moreover, the results revealed that nitrate–auxin crosstalk is required for de novo callus initiation and clarified the mechanisms of organogenesis.
