Project description:Although urea is the most used nitrogen fertilizer worldwide, little is known on the capacity of crop plants to use urea per se as a nitrogen source for development and growth. To date, the molecular and physiological bases of its transport have been investigated only in a limited number of species. In particular, up to date only one study reported the transcriptomic modulation induced by urea treatment in the model plant Arabidopsis (Mérigout et al., 2008 doi: 10.1104/pp.108.119339). In maize, one of crops using huge amount of urea, only a physiological characterization of uptake and assimilation of the N-source has been conducted. General aim of the present work was the comprehension of the molecular basis of urea uptake and assimilation in maize plants, using a transcriptomic approach. In addition, the work focused on the possible interactions between the two main N-sources, conceivably occurring concomitantly in the soil, urea and nitrate.

In addition, the work focused on the possible interactions between the two main N-sources, conceivably occurring concomitantly in the soil, urea and nitrate. 5 dd-old maize plants were treated for 8 hours with nutrient solution containing nitrogen in form of urea; nitrate; urea and nitrate; or not exposed to any form of nitrogen. Three different biological replicates were used for each sample repeating the experiment three times. All samples were obtained pooling roots of six plants.

Project description:Cryptococcus neoformans causes meningoencephalitis and is an increasing human health threat. C. neoformans is neurotropic, and persists in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the mammalian host during infection. In order to survive in the host, pathogenic fungi must procure nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen. To enhance our understanding of nutrient acquisition during infection by Cryptococcus species, we examined utilization of nitrogen sources available in CSF. We screened for growth and capsule production of 817 global environmental and clinical isolates on various sources of nitrogen. Capsule production was assessed using ammonium and urea in the presence or absence of benomyl to determine the relationship of urea exposure to capsule production. Since urea is metabolized to ammonia and CO2 (a known signal for capsule induction), we examined urea metabolism mutants for their response to urea regarding capsule production. Non-preferred nitrogen sources were found to greatly affect capsule production in pathogenic species of Cryptococcus. Urea induced the greatest magnitude of capsule production. Capsule induction by urea was greater in Cryptococcus gattii strains than in C. neoformans strains. In addition, both environmental and clinical strains grew robustly on uric acid, casamino acids, creatinine, and asparagine as sole nitrogen sources. While substantial growth on nitrate was not apparent at day 3, growth was apparent by day 6 for all serotypes. In this study, transcription profiles of urea pathway mutants (ure1 and amt1/2) and WT Cryptococcus neoformans strains were compared in a dye-swap experiment following 1hr exposure to proline or proline + urea (.25g/L).
