• Ammonium is a preferential nitrogen form for rice (Oryza sativa) grown in paddy field, but the molecular mechanisms for ammonium uptake have not been well understood. • We functionally characterized three members belonging to ammonium transporter 1 (AMT1) and investigated their contributions to am...
