Nitrogen plays a crucial role in wheat growth and development. Here, we analyzed the tolerance of wheat strains XM26 and LM23 to low-nitrogen stress using a chlorate sensitivity experiment. Subsequently, we performed transcriptome analyses of both varieties exposed to low-nitrogen (LN) and normal (CK) treatments. Compared with those under CK treatment, 3534 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in XM26 in roots and shoots under LN treatment ( < 0.05, and |log2FC| > 1). A total of 3584 DEGs were detected in LM23. A total of 3306 DEGs, including 863 DEGs in roots and 2443 DEGs in shoots, were specifically expressed in XM26 or showed huge differences between XM26 and LM23 (log2FC ratio > 3). These were selected for gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses. The calcium-mediated plant-pathogen interaction, MAPK signaling, and phosphatidylinositol signaling pathways were enriched in XM26 but not in LM23. We also verified the expression of important genes involved in these pathways in the two varieties using qRT-PCR. A total of 156 transcription factors were identified among the DEGs, and their expression patterns were different between the two varieties. Our findings suggest that calcium-related pathways play different roles in the two varieties, eliciting different tolerances to low-nitrogen stress.

Overexpression of AtbZIP69 in transgenic wheat confers tolerance to nitrogen and drought stress.

Planta

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Crop Gene Resources and Breeding, Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), Beijing, 100081, China.

AtbZIP69 overexpression in wheat significantly enhanced drought and low nitrogen tolerance by modulating ABA synthesis, antioxidant activity, nitrogen allocation, and transporter gene expression, boosting yield. In this study, we generated wheat plants with improved low nitrogen (LN) and drought tolerance by introducing AtbZIP69, a gene encoding a basic leucine zipper domain transcription factor, into the wheat cultivar Shi 4056. AtbZIP69 localized to the nucleus and activated transcription.

Article Synopsis
  • Low nitrogen stress negatively impacts crop yields, and this study focuses on the role of the nitrate transporter MdNRT1.7 in apples (Malus domestica) to understand its function in combating this stress.
  • Researchers used tobacco plants to investigate MdNRT1.7's regulation, identifying a transcription factor (MdJUB1) that inhibits its expression.
  • Results showed that overexpressing MdNRT1.7 improved nitrogen metabolism and stress tolerance in tobacco by increasing beneficial compounds and enzyme activities while decreasing harmful reactive oxygen species.

Amino acid analysis is a vital part of analytical biochemistry. The increasing demand for low nitrogen fertilization and for plant-based diets with balanced amino acid levels and composition have made it crucial to develop reliable, fast, and affordable methods for analyzing amino acids in plants. As maize accounts for 43% of global cereal production, improving the amino acid composition of its kernels (i.

Nitrogen (N) plays a crucial role in forage yield. However, excessive application of N fertilizers in agricultural production not only increases the production cost but also leads to serious environmental problems. Therefore, mining low-N tolerant oat germplasm is important for the sustainable development of grass and pasture.
