摘要
Neutral carrier-based liquid membrane ion-selective microelectrodes for NH4+ and NO3- were developed and used to investigate inorganic nitrogen acquisition in two varieties of barley, Hordeum vulgare L. cv Olli and H. vulgare L. cv Prato, originating in cold and warm climates, respectively. In the present paper, the methods used in the fabrication of ammonium- and nitrate-selective microelectrodes are described, and their application in the study of inorganic nitrogen uptake is demonstrated. Net ionic fluxes of NH4+ and NO3- were measured in the unstirred layer of solution immediately external to the root surface. The preference for the uptake of a particular ionic form was examined by measuring the net flux of the predominant form of inorganic nitrogen, with and without the alternative ion in solution. Net flux of NH4+ into the cold-adapted variety remained unchanged when equimolar concentrations (200 micromolar) of NH4+ and NO3- were present. Similarly, net flux of NO3- into the warm-adapted variety was not affected when NH4+ was also present in solution. The high temporal and spatial resolution afforded by ammonium- and nitrateselective microelectrodes permits a detailed examination of inorganic nitrogen acquisition and its component ionic interactions.
