空气NH3增高情况下不同形式氮源对荫香光合作用和氮利用的影响

 生长在供给NO-3 N、NH+4 N和NH4NO3 N氮源下的荫香（Cinnamomum burmanni）幼树暴露在增高空气NH3浓度下30 d。利用气体交换测定和氮分析研究了植株的光合作用、氮利用和氮在光合过程一些组分中的分配,根据Farquhar-von Caemmerer模式得出相关光合参数。结果表明在增高空气NH3下生长于NO-3 N的植株Rubisco最大羧化速率（Vcmax）和最大光合电子传递速率（Jmax）较正常空气下的高,但生长于NH+4 N和NH4NO3 N的植株则较正常空气下的低。无论生长于何种形式氮下的植株,在空气NH3增高下以单位叶面积为基准的叶氮含量（Na）显著增高（p<0.05）。在增高空气NH3下,生长于NO-3 N下的植株,其类囊体氮量（NT）、Rubisco氮（NR）和结合于光合电子传递链的氮（NE）的含量较正常空气下的增高（p<0.05）;而生长于NH+4 N和NH4NO3 N下的植株则较正常空气下的低。表明在空气NH3增高下生长于NO－3 N的植株能有效地利用氮合成光合过程必要的组份,而生长于NH+4 N和NH4NO－3 N的植株氮在NT、NR和NE的分配受到部分限制。在空气NH3增高下生长于NO－3 N和NH4NO3 N的植株,其以单位干重为基准的有机氮量较正常空气下的高,但生长于NH+4 N的植株则较正常空气下的低,此外在空气NH3增高下生长于NO－3 N的植株的可溶性蛋白氮较正常空气下增高,而生长在NH+4 N的植株亦见降低。结果表明空气NH3增高可能有利于NO－3 N下生长的荫香植株利用空气中的氮,促进叶片光合速率提高,而空气NH3增高能抑制NH+4 N或NH4NO3 N下生长的荫香植株光合作用和氮的利用和再分配。

氮素对红波罗花光合作用和生长的影响

以三年生红波罗花为试验材料,比较了不同氮处理下植株的叶片性状、气体交换特性、叶氮分配、叶绿素荧光和生长参数,探讨了在高山环境中氮素对红波罗花光合特性和生长的影响.结果表明:不施氮时,虽然红波罗花减少了叶氮在捕光复合体中的分配,但还是出现了光抑制现象,并且由于叶氮含量(N)、叶绿素含量(Chl)和叶氮在光合组分中的分配量是最少的,导致光合能力最低,生长最缓.随外界施氮量的增加,红波罗花的N,Chl,叶肉厚度、叶氮在光合组分中的分配量(NR、NB、NL),光能利用效率均随之增加,光合能力相应增强.三个施氮处理中,红波罗花分配给生物力能学组分的叶氮(NB)多于分配给Rubisco的(NR),从而导致Jmax/Vcmax增加,有利于其适应高山低温和高光强.施氮量增加,植株的相对生长速率(RGR)增加,这对于红波罗花当年的开花繁殖,以及来年的生长发育都非常有利.当施氮量超过0.2g/kg基质时,植株的N,Chl,叶肉组织厚度、光合速率以及RGR都不再显著增加,因此当土壤中纯氮含量为220～230mg/kg时,即能满足红波罗花较佳光合和生长所需.

Source of inorganic N affects the cost of growth in a legume tree species (Virgilia divaricata) from the Mediterrean-type Fynbos ecosystem

Aims In Mediterranean-type ecosystem, the Cape Fynbos, legumes may be able to switch between soil N and atmospheric N 2 sources during growth to adjust the carbon costs of N acquisition. This study investigated the utilization of different inorganic N sources by Virgilia divaricata, a native legume from the Mediterranean-type ecosystem of the Cape Floristic Region.Methods Plants were cultivated in sterile quartz sand, supplied with 25% strength Long Ashton nutrient solution, modified to contain 500 μM Phosphate. At the phosphate level (500 μM), plants were treated with 500 μM NH 4 NO 3 (treatment named N), or grown in N-free nutrient solution and inoculated with effective Burkholderia sp. (Bact.) or treated with combined N sources (500 μM NH 4 NO 3) and inoculated with effective Burkholderia sp. (N+Bact.).Important findings The application of NH 4 NO 3 to the legumes resulted in a greater increase in plant dry matter. Carbon construction costs were higher in plants that were supplied with mineral and symbiotic N sources. Maximum photosynthetic rates per leaf area was maintained, irrespective of the N sources. Although the plant roots were nodulated, the plant dependence on N 2 fixation decreased with addition of N. Roots and nodules of the plants solely reliant on N 2 fixation showed an increase in glutamine content. These results show that V. divaricata is highly adapted for growth at the forest margin. Fynbos and possibly anthropic soils by utilizing both atmospheric and soil N sources.     

Induction of poplar leaf nitrate reductase: a test of extrachloroplastic control of isoprene emission rate

Several recent studies have suggested that control of isoprene emission rate is in part exerted by supply of extrachloroplastic phosphoenolpyruvate to the chloroplast. To test this hypothesis, we altered PEP supply by differential induction of cytosolic nitrate reductase (NR) and PEP carboxylase (PEPC) in plants of Populus deltoides grown with NO3- or NH4+ as the sole nitrogen source. Growth with 8 mM NH4+ produced a high leaf nitrogen concentration, compared with 8 mM NO3-, as well as slightly elevated rates of photosynthesis and significantly enhanced rates of isoprene emission and content of dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP, a precursor to isoprene biosynthesis), chlorophyll (a+b) and carotenoids. Growth with 8 mM NO3- resulted in parallel reductions in both leaf isoprene emission rate and DMAPP. The differential effects of growth with NH4+ or NO3- were not observed when plants were grown with 4 mM nitrogen. The effects of reduced DMAPP availability were specific to isoprene emission and were not propagated to higher isoprenoids, as the correlations between nitrogen content and either leaf chlorophyll (a+b) or total carotenoids were unaffected by nitrogen source. Biochemical analysis revealed significantly higher levels of NR and PEPC activity in leaves of 8 mM NO3- -grown plants, consistent with their fundamental roles in nitrate assimilation. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that foliar assimilation of NO3- reduces isoprene emission rate by competing for carbon skeletons (mediated by PEPC) within the cytosol and possibly reductant within the chloroplast. Cytosolic competition for PEP is a major regulator of chloroplast DMAPP supply, and we offer a new "safety valve" hypothesis to explain why plants emit isoprene.     

Onset of and recovery from nitrogen stress during reproductive growth of soybean

Photosynthetic rates and allocation of dry matter, nitrogen, and nonstructural carbohydrates were determined during onset of and recovery from a nitrogen stress for reproductive soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill cv Ransom) plants. Until the beginning of seed fill, non-nodulated plants were grown in flowing solution culture with 1.0 mM NO3- in a complete nutrient solution. One set of plants then was transferred to minus-nitrogen solution for 24 d of seed fill; a second set was transferred to a minus-nitrogen solution for 14 d followed by return to the complete solution with 1.0 mM NO3- for the remaining 10 d of seed fill; and a third set was continued on the complete solution. Net CO2 exchange rates of individual leaves, which remained nearly constant during seed fill for nonstressed plants, declined at an accelerated rate during onset of nitrogen stress as the specific content of reduced nitrogen in the leaves was decreased by remobilization of nitrogen to support pod growth. The rate of nitrogen remobilization out of leaves initially was relatively greater than the decrease in photosynthetic rate. While rate of pod growth declined in response to the developing nitrogen stress, photosynthetic assimilation of carbon exceeded reproductive demand and nonstructural carbohydrates accumulated within tissues. Following resupply of exogenous NO3-, specific rate of NO3- uptake by roots was enhanced relative to nonstressed plants. While there was little increase in content of reduced nitrogen in leaves, net remobilization of nitrogen out of leaves ceased, and the decline in photosynthetic rate stabilized at about 51% of that for nonstressed plants. This level of photosynthesis, combined with the availability of elevated pools of carbohydrates accumulated during stress, was sufficient to support the increases in both the specific rates of NO3- uptake and the rate of pod growth during recovery.     

ULTRAVIOLET-B RADIATION EFFECTS ON INORGANIC NITROGEN UPTAKE BY NATURAL ASSEMBLAGES OF OCEANIC PLANKTON1

Ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR: 290-320 nm) inhibited ammonium uptake (p_NH4) and nitrate uptake (p_NO3) in natural plankton assemblages collected during a transect from 37° N to 55° N in the Pacific Ocean. Comparison of responses in p_NH4 to ambient solar- and lamp-enhanced UVBR spectra allowed calculation of an action spectrum for p_NH4 inhibition. The slope of the action spectrum for Pnh₄ is half as steep as action spectra for UVBR inhibition of photosynthetic carbon uptake. Consequently, WBR-induced photoinhibition of p_NH4 extends to greater depths than inhibition of carbon fixation due to the greater relative effect of longer UVBR wavelengths. Inhibition of p_NH4 was dependent upon UVBR dose when doses were weighted by the p_NH4 action spectrum. Dependence of WBR inhibition of p_NH4 on dose rate was not apparent. We found that near-surface p_NH4 and p_NO3 can be overestimated in excess of 50% when measured using standard incubation vessels made of UVBR-absorbing materials such as polycarbonate.     

The influence of root assimilated inorganic carbon on nitrogen acquisition/assimilation and carbon partitioning

Understanding of the influences of root-zone CO2 concentration on nitrogen (N) metabolism is limited. The influences of root-zone CO2 concentration on growth, N uptake, N metabolism and the partitioning of root assimilated 14C were determined in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). Root, but not leaf, nitrate reductase activity was increased in plants supplied with increased root-zone CO2. Root phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity was lower with NO3(-)- than with NH4(+)-nutrition, and in the latter, was also suppressed by increased root-zone CO2. Increased growth rate in NO3(-)-fed plants with elevated root-zone CO2 concentrations was associated with transfer of root-derived organic acids to the shoot and conversion to carbohydrates. With NH4(+)-fed plants, growth and total N were not altered by elevated root-zone CO2 concentrations, although 14C partitioning to amino acid synthesis was increased. Effects of root-zone CO2 concentration on N uptake and metabolism over longer periods (> 1 d) were probably limited by feedback inhibition. Root-derived organic acids contributed to the carbon budget of the leaves through decarboxylation of the organic acids and photosynthetic refixation of released CO2.     

Transpiration, potassium uptake and flow in tobacco as affected by nitrogen forms and nutrient levels

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Ammonium can result in toxicity symptoms in many plants when it is supplied as the sole source of N. In this work, influences of different nitrogen forms at two levels (2 and 15 mm N) on growth, water relations and uptake and flow of potassium were studied in plants of Nicotiana tabacum 'K 326'. METHODS: Xylem sap from different leaves was collected from 106-d-old tobacco plants cultured in quartz sand by application of pressure to the root system. Whole-shoot transpiration for each of the treatments was measured on a daily basis by weight determination. KEY RESULTS: Total replacement of NO(3)(-)N by NH(4)(+)-N caused a substantial decrease in dry weight gain, even when plants grew under nutrient deficiency. Increasing nutrient concentration resulted in a greater net dry weight gain when nitrogen was supplied as NO(3)(-) or NH(4)NO(3), but resulted in little change when nitrogen was supplied as NH(4)(+). NH(4)(+)-N as the sole N-source also caused reduction in transpiration rate, changes in plant WUE (which depended on the nutrient levels) and a decrease in potassium uptake. However, the amount of xylem-transported potassium in the plants fed with NH(4)(+) was not reduced: it was 457 % or 596 % of the potassium currently taken up at low or high nutrient level, respectively, indicating a massive export from leaves and cycling of potassium in the phloem. CONCLUSIONS: Ammonium reduces leaf stomatal conductance of tobacco plants. The flow and partitioning of potassium in tobacco plants can be changed, depending on the nitrogen forms and nutrient levels.
