Low red to far-red light environments alter nitrogen assimilation in corn (Zea mays)


ABSTRACT: The goal of this work was to investigate the influence of low red to far-red (R:FR) signals generated by a biological weedy and an artificial source of far-red light on the nitrate assimilation pathway in maize. In the absence of direct resource competition, far-red light reflected from neighboring weeds compromises light quality (red to far-red ratio; R/FR) and causes a wide range of morphological and physiological responses at early growth stages of crop plants. This study has investigated the effects of low R/FR light signals on nitrate assimilation in maize seedlings. The transcript levels of genes, metabolites, and activities of enzyme in the nitrate assimilation pathway under a biological and a simulated low R:FR light environment were compared with a high R:FR control environment. Low R:FR signals stimulated nitrate accumulation in maize leaves, which did not appear to result from the upregulation of nitrate transporter genes. A significant reduction in ferredoxin-dependent glutamine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity appears to play a major role in nitrate accumulation under low R:FR light environments, while activities of other enzymes of the nitrate assimilation pathway remain unchanged.
