Project description:Plant nutrition takes advantage by the simultaneous presence of more N forms in the rhizosphere. In the last decades the interplay between ammonium and nitrate acquisition systems in roots has been deeply investigated. Although widely used as fertilizers, the occurrence of cross connection between urea and ammonium nutrition has been scarcely studied in plants, especially at molecular level. In a recent paper we provided evidence that maize plants fed with urea and ammonium mix showed a better N-uptake efficiency than plants fed with ammonium or urea alone. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying this response, transcriptomic and metabolomic changes occurring in maize plants were investigated. Transcriptomic analyses indicated that several transporters and enzymes involved in N-nutrition were found upregulated by all three N-treatments (AMT1.3, NRT1.1, NRT2.1, GS1, GOGAT, GDH), confirming that urea is a direct source of N for plants. Depending on N-form available in nutrient solution a peculiar response at transcriptomic and metabolomic level was observed, especially after 24 hours of treatment. In comparison to one single N-form, urea and ammonium mix induced a prompt assimilation of N, characterized by an overaccumulation of main amino acids in shoots, and an upregulation of ZmAMT1.1. Moreover even a peculiar modulation of aquaporins, carbonic anydrases, glutamine synthetase, amino aspartate, as well as the glycolysis-TCA cycle was induced in roots by urea and ammonium mix. Depending on N-form available in the external media, even changes in phytohormone’s composition were observed in maize (CKs, ABA, JA); in particular, already after 24 hours of treatment, urea induced the accumulation of trans-zeatin in shoots. Through a multiomics approach, we provide for the first time molecular characterization of maize response to urea and ammonium nutrition. This study paves the way to formulate guidelines for the optimization of N fertilization of crops to improve the N use efficiency in plants and therefore limit N losses in the environment.
