Quinoa () is an Andean allotetraploid pseudocereal crop with higher protein content and balanced amino acid composition in the seeds. Ammonium (NH), a direct source of organic nitrogen assimilation, mainly transported by specific transmembrane ammonium transporters (), plays important roles in the development, yield, and quality of crops. Many and their functions have been identified in major crops; however, no systematic analyses of and their regulatory networks, which is important to increase the yield and protein accumulation in the seeds of quinoa, have been performed to date.

Changes in climatic factors and rhizosphere microbiota led plants to adjust their metabolic strategies for survival under adverse environmental conditions. Changes in plant metabolites can mediate crop growth and development and interact with rhizosphere microbiota of the plant rhizosphere. To understand the interactions among environmental factors, rhizosphere microbiota, and metabolites of tobacco, a study was conducted by using integrated metagenomic and metabolomic strategies at four typical representative tobacco planting sites in Yunnan, China.
