Project description:Plants aquire nitrogen from the soil, most commonly in the form of either nitrate or ammonium. Unlike ammonium, nitrate must be reduced (with NADH and ferredoxin as electron donors) prior to assimilation. Thus, nitrate nutrition imposes a substantially greater energetic cost than ammonium nutrition. Our goal was to compare the transcriptomes of nitrate-supplied and ammonium-supplied plants, with a particular interest in characterizing the differences in redox metabolism elicited by different forms of inorganic nitrogen. We used microarrays to compare the short-term transcriptional response to either nitrogen supply or ammonium supply in Arabidopsis roots. Genes upregulated or downregulated by nitrate only, ammonium only, or both ammonium and nitrate were identified and analyzed. Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) plants were grown hydroponically until they reached growth stage 5.10. They were then transferred to a nitrogen-free medium for 26 hr and then supplied with 1 mM nitrate or 1 mM ammonium. RNA isolation (and subsequent microarray analysis) was performed on root tissue isolated just before nitrogen supply (time 0) and at 1.5 hr and 8 hr after nitrogen supply (1.5 hr nitrate, 8 hr nitrate, 1.5 hr ammonium, 8 hr ammonium).

Project description:In comparison with provision of either ammonium or nitrate alone, simultaneously supplying both forms of N results in superior growth and yield for the majority of plants including rice. Using a rice 22K oligo-array, we performed transcriptome analysis to identify genes of rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) responsive to change of N-supply forms and N-starvation. Using the supply of ammonium nitrate (one to one molar ratio) as control, the total number of root genes that were equal or more than two fold up- or down- regulated was 445, 324, and 781 by upon supply of either ammonium or nitrate or continuous N starvation, respectively for 96 h. In the shoot the equivalent numbers were much smaller only 32, 58, and 165, respectively. Clustering of the rice genes associated with different environmental stresses revealed substantial organ specificity of the root and shoot to N starvation, and also to the N supply form. Genes encoding transporters for ammonium and nitrate, nitrate reductase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and aspartate amino transferase, showed great response to change of the N supply form, especially to N starvation. Some of the genes involved in chlorophyll metabolism, carbon fixation and assimilation, were enhanced by ammonium supply only, but significantly suppressed by N-starvation. In the shoot there was increased expression of more general stress genes under nitrate when compared to ammonium nutrition. In the root the reverse situation was true with more apparent stress under ammonium nutrition. The microarray approach has revealed new levels of complexity in the response of rice to the form of N supply.

Project description:Xylem sap is the major transport route for nutrients from roots to shoots. In the present study, we investigated how variations in nitrogen (N) nutrition affected the metabolome and proteome of xylem sap and the growth of the xylem endophyte Brennaria salicis, and we also report transcriptional re-wiring of leaf defenses in poplar (Populus × canescens). We supplied poplars with high, intermediate or low concentrations of ammonium or nitrate. We identified 288 unique proteins in xylem sap. Approximately 85% of the xylem sap proteins were shared among ammonium- and nitrate-supplied plants. The number of proteins increased with increasing N supply but the major functional categories (catabolic processes, cell wall-related enzymes, defense) were unaffected. Ammonium nutrition caused higher abundances of amino acids and carbohydrates, whereas nitrate caused higher malate levels in xylem sap. Pipecolic acid and N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid increased, whereas salicylic acid and jasmonoyl-isoleucine decreased, with increasing N nutrition. Untargeted metabolome analyses revealed 2179 features in xylem sap, of which 863 were differentially affected by N treatments. We identified 124 metabolites, mainly from specialized metabolism of the groups of salicinoids, phenylpropanoids, phenolics, flavonoids, and benzoates. Their abundances increased with decreasing N, except coumarins. Brennaria salicis growth was reduced in nutrient-supplemented xylem sap of low- and high- NO<sub>3</sub> <sup>-</sup> -fed plants compared to that of NH<sub>4</sub> <sup>+</sup> -fed plants. The drastic changes in xylem sap composition caused massive changes in the transcriptional landscape of leaves and recruited defenses related to systemic acquired and induced systemic resistance. Our study uncovers unexpected complexity and variability of xylem composition with consequences for plant defenses.

Project description:This work aims to study the effect of the elevated CO2 concentration on the tomato plant response to the toxicity provoked by ammonium nutrition. Tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Agora Hybrid F1, Vilmorin®) were grown for 4 week with 15 mM of nitrogen, supplied as nitrate or ammonium, at ambient or elevated CO2 conditions (400 ppm or 800 ppm). Transcription profiling by array was carried out in roots for the four growth conditions assayed and gene expression comparisons were done between N sources and CO2 conditions: i) genes differentially expressed in response to the atmospheric CO2 concentration (800 ppm vs 400 ppm CO2) under nitrate or ammonium nutrition; ii) genes differentially expressed in response to the N source (ammonium vs nitrate) under ambient or elevated condition. 3 biological replicates for each growth condition were analysed.CO2).

The microarray approach has revealed new levels of complexity in the response of rice to the form of N supply. Experiment Overall Design: Rice seedlings were grown in a hydroponic system in a growth chamber with control of both temperature and light. After normal growth for two weeks and for one week with completely avoiding any N source, the plants at four and a half leaf stage were re-supplied with ammonium nitrate (equal amount of either form of N), or only ammonium (ammonium sulphate and ammonium chloride), or only nitrate (calcium nitrate and magnesium nitrate), and continuing at zero N (N starvation). All the other essential nutrients were the same for all four treatments, except for sulfate and chloride which ranged between 1.1 â 2.6 mM and 0.5 â 2.5 mM, respectively. In Arabidopsis, addition of 3 mM Cl to âcontrolsâ did not produce any changes in the expression of genes in an experiment investigating the re-supply of 3 mM nitrate (Scheible et al., 2004). In other microarray experiments, extra addition of 5 mM Cl for Arabidopsis (Wang et al., 2000; Wang et al., 2004) and 1.4 mM sulphate for tomato (Wang et al., 2001) were used to replace nitrate for identifying the N deprivation responsive genes. Therefore, we assume that the relative smaller difference in sulfate and chloride concentrations among the four treatments in the normal supply range for plants would not significantly affect the expression profile of genes responsible for changes in N supply form and starvation in our experiments. Experiment Overall Design: For identifying the genes responding to the various N conditions by micro-array analysis, we extracted total RNA respectively from the roots and shoots at the 96 h after initiation of the four respective treatments. We used amplified and labeled cRNA from ammonium nitrate treatment as control, we performed array-hybridization for the cRNA from the treatment of single ammonium form, single nitrate form, or continuous N depletion, respectively. Agilent 60-mer oligonucleotide arrays containing 21,938 unique transcription units (Agilent Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) were used. Two biological replicates of each treatment were performed for microarray analyses.

Project description:Nitrogen (N) fertilization is essential to maximize crop production. However, around half of the applied N is lost to the environment causing water and air pollution and contributing to climate change. Understanding the natural genetic and metabolic basis underlying plants N use efficiency is of great interest to reach an agriculture with less N demand and thus, more sustainable. The study of ammonium (NH4+) nutrition is of particular interest, because it mitigates N losses due to nitrate (NO3-) leaching or denitrification. In this work, we performed gene expression analysis in the root of the model plant for C3 grasses Brachypodiyum distachyon, reference accession Bd21, grown with exclusive NH4+ or NO3- supply.

Project description:Nitrogen is the most important macronutrient in plants and its supply induces responses in gene expression, metabolism and developmental processes. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the nitrogen responses remain poorly understood. Here we show that the supply of nitrate but not ammonium immediately induces the expression of a transcriptional repressor gene in rice, designated NIGT1 (Nitrate-Inducible, GARP-type Transcriptional Repressor 1). The results of DNA-binding site selection experiments and electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicated that NIGT1 binds to DNA containing either of two consensus sequences, GAATC and GAATATTC. In transient reporter assays, NIGT1 was found to repress transcription from the promoters containing the identified NIGT1-binding sequences in vivo. Furthermore, NIGT1 repressed the activity of its own promoter, suggesting an auto-repression mechanism. Consistently, nitrate-induced NIGT1 expression was found to be downregulated after a transient peak during nitrate treatment, and the nitrate-induced expression of NIGT1 decreased in transgenic rice plants in which this gene was constitutively overexpressed. Furthermore, the chlorophyll content that could be a marker of nitrogen utilization was found to be decreased in NIGT1 overexpressors of rice grown with nitrate medium but not with ammonium medium. Thus, we propose NIGT1 as a nitrate-inducible and auto-repressible transcriptional repressor that may play a role in the nitrogen response in rice. Taken together with the fact that the NIGT1-binding sites are conserved in promoter sequences of Arabidopsis NIGT1 homologs, our findings imply the presence of a time-dependent complex system for nitrate-responsive transcriptional regulation that is conserved in both monocots and dicots.

Project description:Epitranscriptomics modifications constitute a gene expression checkpoint in all living organism including plants. Considering the relevance of nitrogen nutrition and metabolism for the correct plant growth and development, it can be hypothesized that epitranscriptome changes must regulate every biological process in plants including nitrogen nutrition. In the present work, the epritranscriptomics changes in maritime pine roots caused by ammonium nutrition have been monitored through RIP-seq. The main transcriptome responses to ammonium nutrition affected to transcripts involved in nitrogen and carbon metabolisms, defense response, hormone synthesis and signaling, and translation. The m6A deposition and its dynamics have been identified, which seems to be important regulators of translation when compared with the proteomic profiles of the same samples. The present study suggest that the epitranscriptome must modulate the responses to development and environmental changes, including ammonium nutrition, through buffering, filtering and focusing the final products of the gene expression.
