ABSTRACT

Understanding how plants use of various nitrogen (N) sources is important for improving plant N use efficiency in organic farming systems. This study investigated the effects of farming management practices (organic and conventional) on pakchoi short-term uptake of glycine (Gly), nitrate (NO3 ?) and ammonium (NH4 +) under two N level conditions. Results showed that plant N uptake rates and N contributions from the three N forms in the low N (0.15 μg N g?1 dry soil) treatment did not significantly differ between the organic and conventional soils, except the significantly greater Gly contribution in organic soil at 24 h after tracer addition. Under high N (15 μg N g?1 dry soil) conditions, the N uptake rates, uptake efficiencies, and N contributions of Gly and NH4 +-N were significantly greater in pakchoi cultivated in the organic soil compared to conventional soil, whereas the N uptake rates and N contributions from NO3 –-N decreased in pakchoi cultivated in the organic soil. The greater Gly-N uptake in plants grown in high-N treated organic soil may be related to the greater gross N transformation, Gly turnover rate and the increased expression of an amino acid transporter gene BcLHT1. Intact Gly contributed at most 6% to Gly-derived N at 24 h after tracer additions, which accounting for about 1.24% of the total N uptake in organic soil. Our study suggested that Gly-N and other organic source N might serve as a more important compensatory N source for plants in organic farming.  相似文献

Agricultural systems that receive high amounts of inorganic nitrogen (N) fertilizer in the form of either ammonium (NH4+), nitrate (NO3−) or a combination thereof are expected to differ in soil N transformation rates and fates of NH4+ and NO3−. Using 15N tracer techniques this study examines how crop plants and soil microbes vary in their ability to take up and compete for fertilizer N on a short time scale (hours to days). Single plants of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Morex) were grown on two agricultural soils in microcosms which received either NH4+, NO3− or NH4NO3. Within each fertilizer treatment traces of 15NH4+ and 15NO3− were added separately. During 8 days of fertilization the fate of fertilizer 15N into plants, microbial biomass and inorganic soil N pools as well as changes in gross N transformation rates were investigated. One week after fertilization 45-80% of initially applied 15N was recovered in crop plants compared to only 1-10% in soil microbes, proving that plants were the strongest competitors for fertilizer N. In terms of N uptake soil microbes out-competed plants only during the first 4 h of N application independent of soil and fertilizer N form. Within one day microbial N uptake declined substantially, probably due to carbon limitation. In both soils, plants and soil microbes took up more NO3− than NH4+ independent of initially applied N form. Surprisingly, no inhibitory effect of NH4+ on the uptake and assimilation of nitrate in both, plants and microbes, was observed, probably because fast nitrification rates led to a swift depletion of the ammonium pool. Compared to plant and microbial NH4+ uptake rates, gross nitrification rates were 3-75-fold higher, indicating that nitrifiers were the strongest competitors for NH4+ in both soils. The rapid conversion of NH4+ to NO3− and preferential use of NO3− by soil microbes suggest that in agricultural systems with high inorganic N fertilizer inputs the soil microbial community could adapt to high concentrations of NO3− and shift towards enhanced reliance on NO3− for their N supply.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Two rice varieties, ‘Piaui’ (a landrace) and ‘IAC-47’ (an improved variety), were grown in nutrient solution containing 20 mg nitrate (NO3 ?)-nitrogen (N) L? 1 up to 32 days after germination (DAG). After this, a group of plants received 200 mg NO3 ?NL? 1, while the other was kept at 20 mg NO3 ?NL? 1 up to 42 DAG. From 42 until 56 DAG, all plants received 5 mg NO3 ?NL? 1. Plants were collected at 42 and 56 DAG, soluble fractions, nitrate reductase (NR) and GS enzymatic activities were determined. The nutritional history of the plants affected significantly the uptake and use of nitrogen (N), and should be taken into consideration in the studies of N-use efficiency. The variety ‘Piaui’ was more efficient than ‘IAC-47’ in N-uptake use, accumulating more NO3 ? in its tissues at the initial phases of its cycle for subsequent utilization.  相似文献

Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) of the F1 hybrid variety Turbo were grown in a NFT system for 22 days. On days 16 and 20–22 inclusive of the experiment, the diurnal variation in nitrate (NO3), potassium (K), and water uptake rates were measured. Nitrate and K uptake rates were subject to large diurnal variation with maximum uptake rates occurring during the day period. Two peaks of diurnal uptake rates were identified, one large peak during the day period and a second much smaller one during the first 2–4 hours of the night. Under the conditions of the experiment, night nutrition made up 35 to 40% of the total daily uptake of K and NO3. Water uptake rates followed a diurnal oscillation with a single peak pattern. Highest rates occurred at the middle of the photoperiod and lowest rates were measured at night. Over the entire day and night cycle there was no correlation between the rates of water and nutrient uptake. This may be of importance in the fertilization of hydroponically grown plants since in horticultural practice nutrients and water are supplied together in quantities large enough to meet plant water demand but not nutrient requirements.  相似文献

It is well known that plants are capable of taking up intact amino acids. However, how the nitrogen (N) rates and N forms affect amino acid uptake and amino acid nutritional contribution for plant are still uncertain. Effects of the different proportions of nitrate (NO3?), ammonium (NH4+) and 15N-labeled glycine on pakchoi seedlings glycine uptake were investigated for 21 days hydroponics under the aseptic media. Our results showed that plant biomass and glycine uptake was positively related to glycine rate. NO3? and NH4+, the two antagonistic N forms, both significantly inhibited plant glycine uptake. Their interactions with glycine were also negatively related to glycine uptake and glycine nutritional contribution. Glycine nutritional contribution in the treatments with high glycine rate (13.4%–35.8%) was significantly higher than that with low glycine rate (2.2%–13.2%). The high nutritional contribution indicated amino acids can serve as an important N source for plant growth under the high organic and low inorganic N input ecosystem.  相似文献

The fate of 15N-labeled potassium nitrate (8.5% 15N excess) was determined in 3-year-old Valencia orange trees grown in 1-m3 containers filled with different textured soils (sandy and loamy). The trees were fertilized either in spring (24 March) or summer (24 July). Spring fertilized trees gave higher fruit yields in sandy than in loamy soils, which exceeded summer fertilized trees in both cases. Summer fertilized trees had greater leaf biomass than spring fertilized trees. Fibrous root weight was 1.9-fold higher in sandy than in loamy soil. At the end of the cycle, tree N recovery from spring application was 45.7% for sandy and 37.7% for loamy soil; from summer fertilization, N recovery was 58.9% and 51.5% for sandy and loamy soils, respectively. The 15N recovered in the inorganic soil fraction (0?C90?cm) was higher for loamy (1.3%) than for sandy soil (0.4%). Fertilizer N immobilized in the organic matter was lower in sandy (2.5%) than in loamy soil (6.0%). Potential nitrate leaching from fertilizer (15NO 3 ? ?CN in the 90?C110-cm soil layer plus 15NO 3 ? ?CN in drainage water) was 34.8% higher in sandy than in loamy soil. The low N levels in sandy soil resulted from both higher NO 3 ? ?CN leaching losses and higher N uptake of plants grown in the former. The great root mass and higher soil temperatures could account for raised plant N uptake in sandy soil and in summer, respectively.  相似文献

Abstract

To determine the relationships between microbial biomass nitrogen (N), nitrate–nitrogen leaching (NO3-N leaching) and N uptake by plants, a field experiment and a soil column experiment were conducted. In the field experiment, microbial biomass N, 0.5 mol L?1 K2SO4 extractable N (extractable N), NO3-N leaching and N uptake by corn were monitored in sawdust compost (SDC: 20 Mg ha?1 containing 158 kg N ha?1 of total N [approximately 50% is easily decomposable organic N]), chemical fertilizer (CF) and no fertilizer (NF) treatments from May 2000 to September 2002. In the soil column experiment, microbial biomass N, extractable N and NO3-N leaching were monitored in soil treated with SDC (20 Mg ha?1) + rice straw (RS) at five different application rates (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 Mg ha?1 containing 0, 15, 29, 44 and 59 kg N ha?1) and in soil treated with CF in 2001. Nitrogen was applied as (NH4)2SO4 at rates of 220 kg N ha?1 for SDC and SDC + RS treatments and at a rate of 300 kg N ha?1 for the CF treatment in both experiments. In the field experiment, microbial biomass N in the SDC treatment increased to 147 kg N ha?1 at 7 days after treatment (DAT) and was maintained at 60–70 kg N ha?1 after 30 days. Conversely, microbial biomass N in the CF treatment did not increase significantly. Extractable N in the surface soil increased immediately after treatment, but was found at lower levels in the SDC treatment compared to the CF treatment until 7 DAT. A small amount of NO3-N leaching was observed until 21 DAT and increased markedly from 27 to 42 DAT in the SDC and CF treatments. Cumulative NO3-N leaching in the CF treatment was 146 kg N ha?1, which was equal to half of the applied N, but only 53 kg N ha?1 in the SDC treatment. In contrast, there was no significant difference between N uptake by corn in the SDC and CF treatments. In the soil column experiment, microbial biomass N in the SDC + RS treatment at 7 DAT increased with increased RS application. Conversely, extractable N at 7 DAT and cumulative NO3-N leaching until 42 DAT decreased with increased RS application. In both experiments, microbial biomass N was negatively correlated with extractable N at 7 DAT and cumulative NO3-N leaching until 42 DAT, and extractable N was positively correlated with cumulative NO3-N leaching. We concluded that microbial biomass N formation in the surface soil decreased extractable N and, consequently, contributed to decreasing NO3-N leaching without impacting negatively on N uptake by plants.  相似文献

Optimal fertilizer nitrogen (N) rates result in economic yield levels and reduced pollution. A soil test for determining optimal fertilizer N rates for wheat has not been developed for Quebec, Canada, or many other parts of the world. Therefore, the objectives were to determine: 1) the relationship among soil nitrate (NO? 3)- N, soil ammonium (NH + 4)- N and N fertilizer on wheat yields; and 2) the soil sampling times and depths most highly correlated with yield response to soil NO? 3-N and NH + 4-N. In a three year research work, wet and dried soil samples of 0- to 30- and 30- to 60-cm depths from 20 wheat fields that received four rates of N fertilizer at seeding and postseeding (plants 15 cm tall) were analyzed for NH + 4-N and NO? 3 -N using a quick-test (N-Trak) and a standard laboratory method. Wheat yield response to N fertilizer was limited, but strong to soil NO? 3-N.  相似文献

Hydroponic production of rocket as a salad vegetable has become increasingly important in recent years. Rocket is known to be a high nitrate (NO3–)-accumulating vegetable, which can be grown throughout the year. In the present study, rocket was grown in a floating hydroponic system at three levels of nitrogen (N) and sodium chloride (NaCl). The highest yield was obtained at 14 mM N, whereas the yield was lower at 20 mM and 40 Mm NaCl. Leaf elongation was more sensitive to salinity than leaf differentiation. Adding NaCl to the nutrient solution increased the relative chlorophyll content. Na+ and Cl– concentrations increased as salinity increased. NO3? levels in fresh biomass increased with increased amounts of NO3? in the nutrient solution, and plants at 18 mM N were able to maintain a higher NO3? : Cl? ratio than those at 10 mM N.  相似文献

Maize plants, grown for 7 and 21 days on a nutrient solution with NO3 ‐ as the sole nitrogen source showed a clear diurnal pattern with respect to the in vivo NRA. Especially in roots dark/light fluctuations of the enzyme activity were high. Also in NO3 ‐ uptake, OH‐ efflux and endogenous content of water soluble carbohydrates a diurnal variation was found. The plant age did not significantly affect the daily rhythm.

Because day/night changes of the in vivo root NRA and nitrate uptake were proportional, the relative content of reduced N in the xylem sap of the plants was constant during a day/night interval. At both day 7 and day 21 about 40–50% of the N was transported via the xylem as amino N. As a result of non‐synchronous variation of the specific root and shoot NRA, root reduction capacity showed a great within‐day variation. It varied between 20 and 40% of the whole plant reduction capacity. Since the ratio N‐organic to N‐total in the xylem sap was about 0.5, cycling of organic nitrogen was very likely in these maize plants.  相似文献

Abstract

A test for nitrogen (N) deficiency in plants showed that rate of uptake of 15N by excised roots was inversely related to the amount of N supplied to the growing plant. Deficiency was successfully identified from the rate of uptake of 15NH4 + from solution in a two hour period, and this was adopted in the early development of the method. In this study, modifications were tested in a sensitivity analysis, to compare 15NH4 + and 15NO3 ? uptake for different times of immersion and with different washing treatments, to determine the most sensitive method. Common bentgrass (Agrostis capillaris L.), grown in sand culture at a range of N concentrations from deficient to optimum, was the test plant. Although uptake by roots from N deficient treatments was always significantly higher for both ammonium (NH4) and nitrate (NO3), the uptake of NH4 was two to five times higher than that of NO3. The rate of uptake of both ions was approximately linear over 20 mins, one hour, or two hours. Although a two hour period of immersion would be necessary in some cases to obtain sufficient 15N in the roots for analysis, it should therefore be possible to interpolate, for direct comparison of rates of uptake by different species, and also with results from similar phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) bioassays, where radioisotope uptake is measured over a shorter time (15 min). The results suggest that the method initially adopted was the most sensitive to identify N deficiency.  相似文献

A sudden pH decline (SPD) of the substrate is an increasing problem in geranium growth systems, and the cause is unknown. In this study, we investigate whether a phosphorus (P) deficiency can cause SPD, and whether the effect is related to inhibition of ammonium (NH4 +) and nitrate (NO3 ?) uptake and a corresponding shift in the cation to anion uptake balance. Geraniums (Pelargonium x hortorum Bailey ‘Designer Dark Red’) were grown in hydroponic solutions with or without P, and the hydroponics systems were located in a growth chamber programmed for light/dark temperatures of 22/18 or 26/22°C. Acidification potential was measured by the amount of base required to maintain pH at 5.8. The results indicated that much greater amounts of base were required to maintain a stable pH with P-limited plants. Using periodic exposures to 15NH4 + or 15NO3 ?, it was found that NO3 ? uptake was strongly inhibited as plants became P stressed. Tissue nutrient profiles showed that the NO3 ? uptake inhibition was accompanied by an increase in the cation to anion uptake ratio. Rhizosphere acidification was greater at higher temperature even though the cation and anion responses were unchanged in control plants, suggesting the involvement of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by root respiration. The results indicate that changes in cation and anion uptake and the associated increase in net H+ extrusion that occur under P-stress conditions can contribute to SPD in geranium culture systems.  相似文献

Abstract

The recovery of 15N‐labelled nitrogen (N) by perennial ryegrass can be significantly increased by mixing gypsum (CaSO4 · 2H2O) into soil rooting medium at rates equivalent to 0.7 t ha?1. Similar improvements in fertilizer N efficiency might be achieved, at less cost and more conveniently, by applying smaller amounts of CaSO4 anhydrite more strategically to fertilizer microsites as a fertilizer filler or diluting agent, in calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), in place of CaCO3. With this in mind, two complementary pot experiments were conducted under simulated spring conditions in a controlled environment chamber. Use of CaSO4 as diluting agent, in place of CaCO3, appreciably enhanced (>30%) the uptake of labeled N by perennial ryegrass plants within the second week of regrowth, but thereafter, because losses of 15N‐labeled NO3 ?‐N from pots by denitrification or leaching had been minimal, plants in both treatments eventually recovered equal amounts of this N form from the soil.  相似文献

Brassica alboglabra plants were first grown aeroponically with full nutrients under full sunlight with average midday photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 1200 μmol m?2 s?1. Thirty days after transplanting, plants were respectively, subjected to 10 days of average midday PPFD of 1200 (control, L1), 600 (L2) and 300 μmol m?2 s?1 (L3). Productivity, photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and stomatal conductance were significantly lower in low-light (L2 and L3) plants than in high-light (L1) plants. Low light plants had the highest nitrate (NO3?) accumulation in the petioles. Low light also had an inverse effect total reduced N content. After different light treatments, all plants were re-exposed to another 10 days of full sunlight. Low-light plants demonstrated their ability to recover their photosynthetic rate, enhance productivity and reduce the NO3? concentration. These results have led to the recommendation of not harvesting this popular vegetable during or immediately after cloudy weather conditions.  相似文献

In this paper, the uptake kinetics of various nitrogens (nitrate (NO3?), ammonium (NH4+), urea, amino acid) by Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. Bailey) were studied under hydroponic condition. The results indicated that the uptake kinetics of organic and inorganic nitrogen (N) by Chinese kale conform to the Michaelis–Menten equation, and the maximum uptake rate (Vmax) and affinity index (1/Km) showed nitrate (NO3—N) > ammonium (NH4+-N) > urea-N > Gly-N, with significant differences between treatments (p < 0.05). Adding different types of N to NO3? nutrient solution had little impact on its affinity, but significantly decreased the NO3? Vmax, which showed NO3–N > NO3? + NH4+ > NO3? + urea > NO3? + Gly. Chinese kale preferred inorganic N to organic N, with NO3? preceding NH4+. Adding organic and NH4+ N to nutrient solution reduced the NO3? uptake capacity by the plant.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The addition of carbonates to a nutrient solution to alleviate ammonium (NH4 +) toxicity in hydroponically-grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants was investigated. Stable isotopes [nitrogen (15N) and carbon (13C)] were used to assess the uptake of nitrogen [NH4 + or nitrate (NO3 ?)] as well as carbon [bicarbonate (HCO3 ?)/carbonate (CO3 2?)] by the roots. Ammonium as the sole N source at 5 mM decreased plant fresh weights compared to NO3 ?. However, at lower concentrations of NH4 + (25% of 5 mM total N), growth was increased compared to NO3 ? alone. Inorganic C enrichment [calcium carbonate (CaCO3)] of the nutrient solution increased the fresh weight of NH4 + grown plants with up to 150% relative to control plants receiving calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] for pH regulation. Root 15N enrichment was lower in 15NH4 + supplied plants compared to 15NO3 ?, while the 13C enrichment in leaves was increased by NH4 + nutrition compared to NO3 ? or NH4NO3. The enhanced C capture was associated with high PEPCase activity in the roots. It is concluded that inorganic carbon enrichment of the root medium may alleviate NH4 + toxicity via increased synthesis of C skeletons and, accordingly, increased capacity for NH4 + assimilation and N export to the shoots.  相似文献

Uptake and assimilation of inorganic N in young rice plants has been studied with labelled N (N-15). Depletion of the plants' carbohydrate content, obtained by a preceding dark period, resulted in a drastic reduction of NH4 +-N uptake. Plants exposed to low light intensity showed diminishing NH4 +-N uptake rates as compared with plants exposed to full light intensity, the latter showing constant NH4 +-N uptake rates during the whole experimental period. The percentage of labelled insoluble N in total labelled N was not significantly affected by a preceding dark period, whereas the low light intensity resulted in a lower proportion of insoluble N in roots and shoots. The incorporation of labelled N into the insoluble fraction (proteins, nucleic acids) was higher in plants fed with NH4 +-N than in those fed with NO3 -.

The uptake of NH4 +-N was not significantly affected by NO3 -, whereas the NO3- uptake rate was considerably reduced in the presence of NH4 +-N. Low energy status of plants affected the nitrate uptake more than the uptake of NH4 +-N. The results show that uptake and assimilation of inorganic N depend much on the energetic status of plants. Nitrate uptake and assimilation is more sensitive to low energy conditions than NH4 +-N.  相似文献

Maize plants (Zea mays L. cv. Pioneer 3906) were grown in hydroponics with four different NaCl treatments (control, 50, 100, 150 mM NaCl). Nitrogen (N) was supplied as 2 mM Ca(NO3)2 in the fully concentrated nutrient solution. Plants of half of the pots were treated with additional 1 mM NH4NO3 2 d after start of the NaCl application. After 23 d, the maize plants were harvested and contents and concentrations of nitrate, reduced N as well as chloride were determined in shoots and roots. With increasing NaCl stress net nitrate uptake and net root‐to‐shoot translocation of total N decreased significantly. Under salt stress, decreased nitrate concentrations in shoots probably caused substrate limitation of nitrate reductase. However, the concentrations of reduced N in shoots were not affected by salt stress and no N deficiency was observed. Additional N application to the 100 and 150 mM NaCl treatments did not improve plant growth. A Cl?/NO antagonism was only weakly pronounced, probably because of the Cl? exclusion ability of maize. Thus, although net uptake and net translocation of total N were markedly decreased by NaCl application, the smaller maize plants nevertheless took up enough N to meet their demand pointing to other growth‐limiting factors than N nutrition.  相似文献

Abstract

Nitrite (NO2 ?‐N) toxicity symptoms have been observed on lettuce (Lactuca sativa) at various locations in California. The objective was to evaluate the symptoms of ammonium (NH4 +‐N) and nitrite (NO2 ?‐N) toxicity on Sundevil iceberg lettuce and Paragon romaine lettuce and to determine lettuce growth and biomass production under different levels of NO2 ?‐N. Hydroponic studies under greenhouse conditions were conducted using nutrient solutions containing nitrate (NO3 ?‐N) and two other forms of nitrogen (NO2 ?‐N and NH4 +‐N) applied at a constant concentration (50 mg NL?1) or using different NO2 ?‐N levels (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 mg N L?1) and a constant NO3 ?‐N level (30 mg N L?1). Crown discoloration (brownish color) was observed for lettuce grown in both NO2 ?‐N and NH4 +‐N solutions approximately 3 weeks after transplanting into the hydroponic systems. Lettuce grown in NO3 ?‐N solution produced larger biomass and greater number of leaves per plant than lettuce grown in NO2 ?‐N or NH4 +‐N solutions. Increasing the concentration of NO2 ?‐N suppressed plant height, fresh and dry biomass yield, and number of leaves and increased the root vascular discoloration. Lettuce growth was reduced more than 50% at NO2 ?‐N concentrations greater than 30 mg N L?1. Even at 5 mg NO2 ?‐N L?1, growth was reduced 14 and 24% for romaine and iceberg lettuce, respectively, relative to that obtained in nitrate solution. Although concentrations between 5 and 40 mg NO2 ?‐N L ?1 reduced dry biomass similarly for both lettuce types, toxicity symptoms were more severe in iceberg lettuce than in romaine.  相似文献

Several hypotheses have been put forward to explain the causes of damage to plants by atmospheric pollution. None however, fully explain why some species are more prone to damage than others. In the literature, certain higher plants are more commonly reported as suffering damage from atmospheric pollution. These include climax species such as conifers, some broadleaf species such as oak and beech, and ericaceous species. Pioneer species such as highly nitrophillous woody species and ruderal herbaceous species are seldom reported in connection with damage from atmospheric pollutants. A screening of 18 species (woody and herbaceous) for 5 physiological and metabolic parameters and subsequent regression analysis of the data, showed that plants could be grouped according to their tolerance to acidity. There was a marked positive correlation between leaf nitrate reductase (NR) activity and the buffering capacity index (BCI) of the leaf. Foliar mistings and soil applications of 3 mol m?3 KNO3 to 6 assorted plant species also revealed that pioneer species, can induce NR activity when NO3 ? is applied directly to the foliage or soil. However, climax species have a much lower ability to increase NR activity in response to foliar and soil NO3 ? inputs. Leaf NO3 ? assimilation carries with it the direct generation of OH?, involves greater uptake of base cations and confers greater physiological buffering capability through the close interaction of carbon and nitrogen acquisition in the leaf. The hypothesis states that leaf nitrate assimilators are physiologically more competent at buffering acidic inputs whether directly as H+, or indirectly through uptake of acidic pollutants.  相似文献
