摘要
Root NO3- uptake and expression of two root NO3- transporter genes (Nrt2;1 and Nrt1) were investigated in response to changes in the N- or C-status of hydroponically grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants. Expression of Nrt2;1 is up-regulated by NO3- starvation in wild-type plants and by N-limitation in a nitrate reductase (NR) deficient mutant transferred to NO3- as sole N source. These observations show that expression of Nrt2;1 is under feedback repression by N-metabolites resulting from NO3- reduction. Expression of Nrt1 is not subject to such a repression. However, Nrt1 is overexpressed in the MR mutant even under N-sufficient conditions (growth on NH,NOB medium), suggesting that expression of this gene is affected by the presence of active NR, but not by N-status of the plant. Root (NO3-)-N-15 influx is markedly increased in the NR mutant as compared to the wild-type. Nevertheless, both genotypes have similar net (NO3-)-N-15 uptake rates due to a much larger (NO3-)-N-14 efflux in the mutant than in the wildtype. Expressions of Nrt2;1 and Nrt1 are diurnally regulated in photosynthetically active A. thaliana plants. Both increase during the light period and decrease in the first hours of the dark period. Sucrose supply prevents the inhibition of Nrt2;1 and Nrt1 expressions in the dark. In all conditions investigated, Nrt2;1 expression is strongly correlated with root (NO3-)-N-15 influx at 0.2 mM external concentration. In contrast, changes in the Nrt1 mRNA level are not always associated with similar changes in the activities of high- or low-affinity NO3- transport systems.
