Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Martin) plants grown in solution culture, were exposed to increasing cadmium (Cd) concentration (0, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 μM) for a duration of 12 days. The sequence of important biochemical steps of nitrate (NO3) assimilation were studied in roots and shoots as a function of external Cd concentration. Cadmium uptake in roots and shoots increased gradually with Cd concentration in the medium. This Cd accumulation lowered substantially root and shoot biomass. The nitrate reductase (NR, EC 1.6.6.1) and nitrite reductase (NiR, EC 1.6.6.4) activities declined under Cd stress. Concurrently, tissue NO3 contents and xylem sap NO3 concentration were also decreased in Cd‐treated plants. These results suggest that Cd could exert an inhibitory effect on the assimilatory NO3 reducing system (NR and NiR) through a restriction of NO3 availability in the tissues. We therefore examined, in short‐term experiments (12 h), the impact of Cd on NO3 uptake and the two reductases in nitrogen (N)‐starved plants that were pretreated or not with Cd. It was found that Cd induced inhibition of both NO3 uptake and activities of NR and NiR, during NO3 induction period. The possible mechanisms of Cd action on NO3 uptake are proposed. Further, in Cd‐grown plants, the glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) showed a decreasing activity both in shoots and roots. However, increasing external Cd concentration resulted in a marked enhancement of glutamate dehydrogenase (NADH‐GDH, EC 1.4.1.2) activity, coupled with elevated levels of ammonium (NH4 in tissues. On the other hand, the total protein content in Cd‐treated plants declined with a progressive and substantial increase of protease activity in the tissues. These findings indicate that under Cd stress the usual pathway of NH4 assimilation (glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase) can switch to an alternative one (glutamate dehydrogenase). The changes in all parameters investigated were concentration‐dependent and more marked in roots than shoots. The regulation of N absorption and assimilation by Cd in relation to growth and adaptation to stress conditions are discussed.  相似文献

增硝营养对不同基因型水稻苗期氮素吸收同化的影响   总被引:21,自引:7,他引:21  
利用控制条件下的溶液培养方法,研究了增硝营养(NH4+∶NO3-比例为100∶0和50∶50)对4种不同的基因型水稻(常规籼稻、常规粳稻、杂交籼稻、杂交粳稻)苗期生长和氮素吸收同化的影响。结果表明,增NO3-营养可以增加水稻叶片的光合速率,促进水稻对氮素的吸收,提高氮素利用率,进而促进水稻生长;不同基因型水稻在增NO3-营养下氮积累量增幅不同主要是由于其生物量增幅不同,而整株氮素含量增幅差异不大;NO3-的存在可增强谷氨酰胺合成酶和硝酸还原酶的活力,促进水稻对NH4+和NO3-的同化利用,从而增加了氮素在植株地上部的积累同化;籼稻与粳稻相比,杂交粳稻与杂交籼稻相比,前者在氮素吸收利用上均表现出更为明显的优势。  相似文献

Assimilation of ammonium (NH4) into free amino acids and total reduced nitrogen (N) was monitored in both roots and shoots of two‐week old rice seedlings supplied with 5 mM 99% (15NH4)2SO4 in aerated hydroponic culture with or without a 2 h preincubation with 1 mM methionine sulfoximine (MSX), an inhibitor of glutamine synthetase (GS) activity. 15NH4 was not assimilated into amino acids when the GS/GOGAT (glutamate synthase) cycle was inhibited by MSX. Inhibition of glutamine synthetase (GS) activity in roots with MSX increased both the amount of NH4 and the abundance of 15N labeled NH4. In contrast, the amount of Gln and Glu, and their proportions as 15N, decreased in roots when GS activity was inhibited. This research confirms the importance of GS/GOGAT in NH4 assimilation in rice roots.

15N‐labeled studies indicate that NH4 ions incorporated by roots of rice are transformed primarily into glutamine (Gln) and glutamic acid (Glu) before being converted to other amino acids through transamination (15). The formation of amino acids such as aspartic acid (Asp) and alanine (Ala) directly from free NH4 in roots also has been reported (4,15). Translocation of free NH4 to plant shoots, based on the concentration of free NH4 in xylem exudate, has been reported in tomato (13), although NH4 in shoots primarily originates from nitrate reduction in the shoot. Photorespiration also can contribute to the accumulation of NH4 in leaves (7).

The GS/GOGAT cycle appears to be primarily responsible for the assimilation of exogenously supplied NH4 and NH4 derived from nitrate reduction in leaves, as well as NH4 derived from photorespiration (2,3,6,8). Genetic evidence cited to support this conclusion includes the lethal effect of photorespiratory conditions on plant mutants deficient in chloroplast‐localized GS and GOGAT activities (2,3,9), and the rapid accumulation of free NH4 in GS‐deficient mutants under photorespiratory conditions (2,3,5).

The present study was initiated to quantify the in vivo amino acid synthesis in rice roots and shoots by analysis of 15N labeling, and should provide a more complete understanding of this important system for NH4 utilization.  相似文献

Abstract

Young seedlings of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) grown on nitric medium and treated with different cadmium (Cd) concentrations (0–50 µM) were used. Results obtained show that Cd remains predominantly located in the roots, which then seem to play the role of trap‐organs. Increasing Cd concentration in the medium leads particularly to a decrease in NO3 ? accumulation, together with decrease in the activities of nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NiR), and glutamine synthetase (GS). On the other hand, stimulations were observed for ammonium accumulation, anabolitic activity of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and protease activity. Contrarily, decreases were obtained for soluble protein contents and catabolitic activity of GDH. These results were discussed in relation to the hypothesis attributing to the mitochondrial enzyme NADH‐dependent GDH, an important role in the plant defense processes, in maintaining the glutamate pool in conditions where the need for NH4 + detoxification is increased by heavy metals.  相似文献

Ammonium (NH4+), an important nitrogen (N) source for microorganisms, is assimilated via two major pathways. One route is catalyzed by glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), while the other mechanism involves two enzymes, glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT). The GS/GOGAT enzyme system requires more energy to operate, but has a much higher affinity for NH4+ than GDH. We describe procedures to determine potential GS and GDH activity in soil samples. GS and GDH are intracellular enzymes. We used chloroform fumigation to make cell membranes permeable for substrates and products of the enzymes. Fumigation for 4 h increased GS activity almost ten-fold compared to the unfumigated control. Under optimized assay conditions, GS activity increased linearly for at least 80 min, indicating that the substrates were not limiting. In contrast to what was found for GS activity, direct addition of substrates to the soil to assay GDH activity did not result in a linear increase in GDH activity over time. A linear response for 3 h, however, resulted when the soil samples were first extracted with buffer solution and the reagents were added after centrifugation. The differences between the assays explain why fumigation for 3 d prior to the assay increased GDH activity by only 60%. In a microcosm study with glucose and NH4+ addition, the activity of the two enzymes depended on the carbon (C) to N ratio of the amendment. With increasing C to N ratios from 5 to 120, GS activity doubled, while C to N ratios higher than 120 did not further increase GS activity. In contrast, GDH activity decreased by 13% with increasing C to N ratios from 5 to 200. The GDH to GS activity ratio in soil may therefore yield valuable information about the availability of N relative to C at a specific time.  相似文献

When grown with mixtures of nitrate‐nitrogen (NO3‐N) and ammonium‐nitrogen (NH4‐N) (mixed N) spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants develop higher order tillers and produce more grain than when grown with only NO3. Because similar work is lacking for winter wheat, the objective of this study was to examine the effect of N form on tillering, nutrient acquisition, partitioning, and yield of winter wheat. Plants of three cultivars were grown to maturity hydroponically with nutrient solutions containing N as either all NO3, all NH4, or an equal mixture of both forms. At maturity, plants were harvested; separated into shoots, roots, and grain; and each part analyzed for dry matter and chemical composition. While the three cultivars varied in all parameters, mixed N plants always produced more tillers (by a range of 16 to 35%), accumulated more N (28 to 61%), phosphorus (P) (22 to 80%), and potassium (K) (11 to 89%) and produced more grain (33 to 60%) than those grown with either form alone. Although mixed N‐induced yield increases were mainly the result of an increase in grain bearing tillers, there was cultivar specific variation in individual yield components (i.e., tiller number, kernels per tiller, and kernel weight) which responded to N form. The presence of NH4 (either alone or in the mixed N treatment), increased the concentration of reduced N in the shoots, roots, and grain of all cultivars. The effect of NH4 in either treatment on the concentrations of P and K was variable and depended on the cultivar and plant part. In most cases, partitioning of dry matter, P, and K to the root decreased when NH4 was present, while partitioning of N was relatively unaffected. Changes in partitioning between the shoot and grain were affected by N treatment, but varied according to cultivar. Based on these data, the changes in partitioning induced by NH4 and the additional macronutrient accumulation with mixed N are at least partially responsible for mixed‐N‐induced increases in tillering and yield of winter wheat.  相似文献

Ammonium(NH+4) is the main nitrogen(N) form for rice crops, while NH+4near the root surface can be oxidized to nitrate(NO-3)by NH+4-oxidizing bacteria. Nitrate can be accumulated within rice tissues and reused when N supply is insufficient. We compared the remobilization of NO-3stored in the tissue and vacuolar between two rice(Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, Yangdao 6(YD6, indica)with a high N use efficiency(NUE) and Wuyujing 3(WYJ3, japonica) with a low NUE and measured the uptake of NO-3, expression of nitrate reductase(NR), NO-3transporter genes(NRTs), and NR activity after 4 d of N starvation following 7-d cultivation in a solution containing 2.86 mmol L-1NO-3. The results showed that both tissue NO-3concentration and vacuolar NO-3activity were higher in YD6 than WYJ3 under N starvation. YD6 showed a 2- to 3-fold higher expression of OsNRT2.1 in roots on the 1st and 4th day of N starvation and had significantly higher values of NO-3uptake(maximum uptake velocity, Vmax) than the cultivar WYJ3.Furthermore, YD6 had significantly higher leaf and root maximum NR activity(NRAmax) and actual NR activity(NRAact) as well as stronger root expression of the two NR genes after the 1st day of N starvation. There were no significant differences in NRAmax and NRAact between the two rice cultivars on the 4th day of N starvation. The results suggested that YD6 had stronger NRA under N starvation, which might result in better NO-3re-utilization from the vacuole, and higher capacity for NO-3uptake and use, potentially explaining the higher NUE of YD6 compared with WYJ3.  相似文献

Tomato plants were grown in sand culture with NO3 or NH4 N at two levels of light. Foliar sprays at three levels of N as well as combinations of foliar and root feeding were used.

Shade increased NH4 toxicity in plants sprayed with NH4 but decreased the toxicity in plants receiving NH4 through the roots. NH4‐N greatly reduced growth and cation uptake when supplied through the roots but not with foliar application. Plants sprayed with NH4 showed better growth, higher K, Ca, and Mg content and lower free NH4 in shoot, compared to plants receiving NH4 through the roots.

The overall free amino acid contents of shoots was higher for NH4‐fed plants regardless of how the N was applied. Plants sprayed with NH4 incorporated a greater amount of N into insoluble compounds compared with NO3 nutrition. The N uptake per unit of leaf area was higher for plants grown under full sun light whereas N content was higher for plants grown under hade. N content in tissue increased with N concentration in foliar spray, although plants supplied with N through the roots had higher levels of free amino acids and total nitrogen.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Interactions between nitrate (NO3 ?), potassium (K+), and ammonium (NH4 +) were investigated using hydroponically grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants. Ammonium as the sole nitrogen (N) source at 10 mM was toxic and led to overall growth suppression, chlorosis, and necrosis of leaves. After 20 days, 50% of the plants were dead. However, when NO3 ? was supplied at very low concentration together with high NH4 + (only 1% of total 10 mM N) all seedlings survived and their growth was improved. High K+ concentration (5 mM) also alleviated NH4 + toxicity and increased plant growth several fold compared to intermediate concentration of K+ (0.6 mM). Leaf total N and 15N derived from 15N-labelled NH4 + increased in the presence of NO3 ?, but decreased at high K+ concentration. High K+ supply enhanced total carbon (C) and δ 13C and stimulated GS and PEPCase activities in leaves and roots. Nitrate supplementation had no effect on GS or PEPCase activities. It is concluded that K+ may alleviate NH4 + toxicity, partly by inhibiting NH4 + uptake, partly by stimulating C and N assimilation in the roots.  相似文献

Studies on the effects of salinity and nitrogen (N) fertilization on ionic balance, biomass, and organic N production of annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) were conducted. Plants grown in sand were irrigated with nutrient solution with an electrical conductivity of 2 or 11.2 dS#lbm‐1, and N in the form of sodium nitrate (NaNO3), ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), or ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] ranging from 0.5 to 9.0 mM. Salinity increased the concentration of total inorganic cations (C) in plants and specifically sodium (Na) by more than 3‐fold higher in plants grown at high salinity as compared with plants at low salinity. Sodium (Na) concentration in roots was higher than in shoots irrespective of the salinity level, suggesting a restriction of Na transport from roots to shoots. The concentration of total inorganic anions (A) increased with salinity and when plants were supplied with nitrate (NO3), salinity increased the concentrations of NO3 and chloride (Cl) in plants. Increasing salinity and N concentration in the growth medium increased organic anions concentration in plants, estimated as the difference between C and A. The effect of different N sources on C‐A followed the order: NH4NO3 > NO3 > ammonium (NH4). The base of organic anions and inorganic ions with salinity contributed significantly to the osmotic potential of plants shoots and roots. Changes in C affected N and organic acids metabolism in plants, since C were highly correlated (p=0.0001) with C‐A and organic N (Norg) concentrations regardless of the salinity level or N source in the nutrient solutions. A high and positive linear dependency was found between Norg and C‐A in plants grown at high and low salinity levels and different N sources, pointing out the close relationship between Norg and organic anions on metabolism under these conditions. The amount of biomass produced was correlated positively with organic anion concentration in plants exposed to different salinity levels. Plant biomass increased with N concentration in the nutrient solution regardless of the salinity level applied. Biomass accumulation decreased while Norg concentration increased with salinity. Organic N content remained unaffected in plants exposed to salinity when grown in N less than 9.0 mM.  相似文献

Abstract

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. cv. RH-30) was grown under different types and levels of nitrogen (N) sources, i.e. nitrate, ammonical, and nitrate plus ammonical, at 40, 80, and 120 kg ha? 1 under green house conditions. The plants were salinized with 8 and 12 dSm? 1 at 35 and 55 days after sowing. A progressive inhibition of the activity of enzymes of N metabolism, i.e., nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NiR), glutamine synthetase (GS), glutamate synthase (GOGAT), and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), was observed with increasing level of salinity. However, the magnitude of such reductions was lowest at the highest level of N (120 kg ha? 1) as compared with the lowest level (40 kg ha? 1) irrespective of N source. The activity of nitrate-assimilating enzymes (NR and NiR) was maximum with nitrate fertilizer, and minimum with the ammonical form. The alleviation of detrimental effects of salinity on NR and NiR was better with the highest level of N (120 kg ha? 1) in nitrate form as compared with the lowest level of N (40 kg ha? 1). In contrast, the maximum activity of ammonium-assimilating enzymes (GS, GOGAT, and GDH) was observed with the highest level of N (120 kg ha? 1) and the minimum with the nitrate form of N under salinity. These results indicate that despite the high salinity, an increase in the concentration and uptake of N stimulates the activities of nitrate-assimilating enzymes (NR and NiR) as well as of the ammonia-assimilating enzymes (GS, GOGAT, and GDH).  相似文献

To evaluate chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and rocket salad [Eruca vesicaria (L.) Cav.subsp. sativa (Mill.)] capability to use ammonium‐nitrogen (NH4‐N) even in the absence of nitrate‐nitrogen (NO3‐N) in the nutrient solution, and the chances they offer to reduce leaf NO3 content, cultivated rocket and two cultivars of chicory ('Frastagliata’, whose edible parts are leaves and stems, and ‘Clio’, a leaf hybrid) were hydroponically grown in a growth chamber. Three nutrient solutions with the same nitrogen (N) level (4 mM) but a different NH4‐N:NO3‐N (NH4:NO3) ratio (100:0, 50:50, and 0:100) were used. Rocket growth was inhibited by NH4 nutrition, while it reached the highest values with the NH4:NO3 ratio 50:50. Water and N‐use efficiencies increased in rocket with the increase of NO3‐N percentage in the nutrient solution. In the best conditions of N nutrition, however, rocket accumulated NO3 in leaves in a very high concentration (about 6,300 mg kg‐1 fresh mass). For all the morphological and yield features analyzed, chicory resulted to be quite unresponsive to N chemical forms, despite it took more NO3‐N than NH4‐N when N was administered in mixed form. By increasing NO3‐N percentage in the nutrient solution, NO3 leaf content increased (5,466 mg kg‐1 fresh mass with the ratio NH4:NO3 0:100). On average, both chicory cultivars accumulated 213 mg NO3 kg‐1 fresh mass with the ratio NH4:NO3 100:0 and, differently from rocket, they showed that by using NH4 produce can be obtained very low in NO3 content.  相似文献

Four lettuce (Lactuca saliva L.) varieties ('Benita’, ‘Wendy’, ‘Mirena’, and ‘Jacky') were grown for 43 days in a pH‐controlled complete nutrient solution without cadmium (Cd) or with either 0.01 or 0.03 mg Cd/1 and with NH4 or NO3 as the form of nitrogen nutrition. Cadmium did not affect dry matter yield. ‘Wendy’ had a significantly higher total dry matter production when grown on NO3 compared to NH4, whereas growth of ‘Mirena’ was best on NH4 (P<0.05). Dry weights of ‘Benita’ and ‘Jacky’ were not affected by the N source. Cadmium concentrations in shoots (and roots) of plants grown on NH4 were significantly higher than in plants grown on NO3. The Zn concentrations in the shoots were also enhanced. The distribution of Cd in the lettuce varieties was independent of the form of N nutrition. It is concluded that the N source directly affects the amount of Cd taken up, without influencing the Cd distribution.  相似文献

Herbicide application is an efficient method to control weed growth in modern agriculture production, but there is concern about the ecological impact of unwanted herbicide residues in the soil. Rapeseed varieties ZS11 and D148 were used to evaluate the phytotoxic effects of residual glufosinate on the assimilation of nitrogen (N) in rapeseed seedlings transplanted to untreated [0 g hm?2 glufosinate] or treated [450 g hm?2 and 900 g hm?2 glufosinate] soils. Glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activities, the contents of ammonium (NH4+), free amino acids (FAA), and soluble protein (SP), and seedling dry weight (DW) were determined at 5, 8, 11, 20, 40, and 70 d post-transplant. Both concentrations of glufosinate induced physiological phytotoxicity on the N assimilation of transplanted seedlings of both varieties, as their leaves and roots presented reduced GS activities and SP contents, and increased GDH activities, and NH4+ and FAA content. Glufosinate phytotoxicity on the N assimilation of transplanted seedlings reached a plateau at 11 to 20 d. further, GDH in roots and GS in leaves were still significantly different at 70 d. Meanwhile, ZS11 might be more sensitive to glufosinate than D148 since ZS11 had more variation than D148 at the same treatment, and the overdose of glufosinate more strongly inhibited N assimilation than the recommended dose. Therefore, it is essential to apply a suitable glufosinate dose to the transplanted variety, to minimize adverse effects on crops and the environment.

The infiltration of water contaminants into soil and groundwater systems can greatly affect the quality of groundwater. A laboratory-designed large soil tank with periodic and continuous infiltration models, respectively, was used to simulate the migration of the contaminants NH4 and NO3 in a soil and groundwater system, including unsaturated and saturated zones. The unsaturated soil zone had a significant effect on removing NH4 and NO3 infiltrated from the surface water. The patterns of breakthrough curves of NH4 and NO3 in the unsaturated zone were related to the infiltration time. A short infiltration time resulted in a single sharp peak in the breakthrough curve, while a long infiltration time led to a plateau curve. When NH4 and NO3 migrated from the unsaturated zone to the saturated zone, an interracial retardation was formed, resulting in an increased contaminant concentration on the interface. Under the influence of horizontal groundwater movement, the infiltrated contaminants formed a contamination-prone area downstream. As the contaminants migrated downstream, their concentrations were significantly reduced. Under the same infiltration concentration, the concentration of NO3 was greater than that of NH4 at every corresponding cross-section in the soil and groundwater tank, suggesting that the removal efficiency of NH4 was greater than that of NO3 in the soil and groundwater system.  相似文献

Abstract

Experiments were conducted using different NO3 /NH4 + ratios to determine the effects of these sources of N on mineral element uptake by sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] plants grown in nutrient solution. The NO3 /NH4 + ratios in nutrient solution were 200/0, 195/5, 190/10, and 160/40 mg N L–1. Nutrient solutions were sampled daily and plants harvested every other day during the 12‐day treatment period.

Moderately severe Fe deficiencies were observed on leaves of plants grown with 200/0 NO3 /NH4 + solutions, but not on the leaves of plants grown with the other NO3 /NH4 + ratios. As plants aged, less Fe, Mn, and Cu were translocated from the roots to leaves and leaf/root ratios of these elements decreased dramatically in plants grown with 200/0 NO3 /NH4 + solutions. Extensive amounts of Fe, Mn, and Cu accumulated in or on the roots of plants grown with 200/0 NO3 /NH4 + solutions. Manganese and Cu may have interacted strongly with Fe to inhibit Fe translocation to leaves and to induce Fe deficiency. As the proportion of NH4 + in solution increased, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Zn concentrations decreased in the leaves, and Ca, Mg, Mn, and Cu concentrations decreased in roots. Potassium and Zn tended to increase in roots as NH4 + in solution increased.  相似文献

The effects of different forms and concentrations of N in the rooting medium on the CO2/H2O gas exchange of leaves of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) were investigated. Two-year-old seedlings were grown in nutrient solutions containing low (1.8 mM) or high (4.8 mM) concentrations of NH4+, 3.6 mM NO3?, or both NH4+ and NO3? (1.8 mM + 1.8 mM). In various sets of plants subjected to these N treatments, the following parameters were determined: biomasses of leaves and fine roots, leaf area-related net photosynthesis at light saturation (A) and leaf conductance (g), foliar concentrations of chlorophylls, N, Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ and the ash alkalinity of the leaves (as a measure of the carboxylate content). In all treatments, the leaves were equally well supplied with nutrients. Oaks grown in high NH4+ concentrations produced significantly smaller leaf and root biomasses. Compared to oaks cultivated with both N forms or with low NH4+ concentration, oaks grown with high NH4+ supply showed lower values of A and g, but no significant differences in ash alkalinity and leaf area-related chlorophyll concentrations. Oaks fed with NO3? as the only N form had an intermediate biomass production, but low values of A and g. The time courses of A in the different treatments closely followed the patterns of g. In all N treatments, the same linear relationship was found between A and g, indicating that, within a rather wide range, the variation in the form and amount of supplied N does not affect the instantaneous water use efficiency of young pedunculate oaks.  相似文献

Glutamine synthetase and nitrate reductase enzyme activities occurred both in roots and leaves of maize (Zea mays L., hybrid Pioneer 3737) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cultivar Jantar) plants grown on different nitrogen (N) sources. Enzyme activities and plastid pigment content in maize plants were higher in the treatments with a mixture of nitrate (NO3) and ammonium (NH4) than with either N source alone. In wheat plants, plastid pigment content, nitrate reductase activity, and root glutamine snynthetase activity were higher in the treatments where NO3 alone was applied to the nutrient medium.  相似文献

海稻86是原生长于沿海滩涂的水稻品种,具有强耐碱性。为探究海稻86耐碱胁迫的生理和分子机制,本研究以海稻86和对碱敏感的水稻品种珍汕97为材料,采用pH值9.0的碱处理液处理水稻幼苗,并检测其根和叶中含氮物质含量、氮代谢相关酶活性和基因表达量。结果表明,碱胁迫下,海稻86根和叶中硝态氮和可溶性蛋白含量降幅低于珍汕97,而珍汕97根中氨态氮的积累量显著大于海稻86。碱胁迫下,海稻86根部硝酸还原酶(NR)活性以及根和叶片谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)活性与非胁迫下对照(CK)相比均无显著变化,叶片NR活性以及根部谷氨酸合成酶(GOGAT)活性降低,叶片GOGAT活性升高;珍汕97根和叶片NR和GS以及根部GOGA活性均显著降低,降幅明显大于海稻86;碱胁迫对海稻86的GDH活性无显著影响,但珍汕97的GDH活性显著升高。此外,碱胁迫下,海稻86和珍汕97的NR以及GDH基因表达量与酶活性变化较一致,NADH-GOGAT基因表达变化与酶活性变化存在差异,OsNADH-GOGAT1和NADH-GOGAT2表达量显著升高,海稻86的NR和GOGAT基因表达量高于珍汕97,GDH基因表达量低于珍汕97。综上表明海稻86具有强耐碱胁迫能力,与其具有较稳定的氮代谢关键酶活性有关。本研究为深入了解水稻耐碱机理和培育耐碱水稻品种提供了重要的理论依据。  相似文献
