Plants uptake and assimilate nitrogen from the soil in form of nitrate, ammonium ions, available amino acids organic sources. Plant nitrate transporters are responsible for translocation into roots. The unique structure these determines specificity each transporter, structural analyses reveal mechanisms by which function. Following absorption, metabolism pathway incorporates compounds via glutamine synthetase glutamate synthase that convert ions glutamate. Different isoforms exist, enabling plants to fine-tune based on environmental cues. Under stressful conditions, nitric oxide has been found enhance plant survival under drought stress. Furthermore, interaction between salinity stress availability studied, with identified as a potential mediator responses salt Conversely, excessive use fertilizers can lead health issues. Therefore, alternative strategies, such establishing fixation through diazotrophic microbiota, have explored reduce reliance synthetic fertilizers.

Root microbiota of tea plants regulate nitrogen homeostasis and theanine synthesis to influence tea quality

Current Biology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 34(4), С. 868 - 880.e6

The flavor profile of tea is influenced not only by different varieties but also the surrounding soil environment. Recent studies have indicated regulatory role microbes residing in plant roots nutrient uptake and metabolism. However, impact this mechanism on quality remains unclear. In study, we showed that a consortium isolated from enhanced ammonia facilitated synthesis theanine, key determinant taste. Variations were observed composition microbial populations colonizing rhizosphere across seasons varieties. By comparing root microorganisms high-theanine variety Rougui with low-theanine Maoxie, identified specific group potentially modulate nitrogen metabolism, subsequently influencing theanine levels tea. Furthermore, constructed synthetic community (SynCom) mirroring microbe population found roots. Remarkably, applying SynCom resulted significant increase content plants imparted greater tolerance to deficiency Arabidopsis. Our study provides compelling evidence supporting use as functional fertilizers enhance quality.

The interaction of nutrient uptake with biotic and abiotic stresses in plants^FA

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2025

ABSTRACT Plants depend heavily on efficient nutrient uptake and utilization for optimal growth development. However, plants are constantly subjected to a diverse array of biotic stresses, such as pathogen infections, insect pests, herbivory, well abiotic stress like drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, imbalances. These stresses significantly impact the plant's ability take up use it efficiency. Understanding how maintain efficiency under conditions is crucial improving crop resilience sustainability. This review explores recent advancements in elucidating mechanisms underlying conditions. Our aim offer comprehensive perspective that can guide breeding stress‐tolerant nutrition‐efficient varieties, ultimately contributing advancement sustainable agriculture.

Energy & Fuels, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2025

With the increasing demand for downstream ammonia products, research on fuel has received growing attention. Therefore, under "dual carbon" context, it is crucial to develop an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly method synthesis. Current indicates that electrocatalytic synthesis one of most promising methods. This study systematically summarizes three major factors influencing nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) catalysts synthesis: material optimization, structural design, engineering. In terms materials, precious-metal-based, non-precious-metal-based, metal-free eNRR are classified listed. By examination properties catalytic effects various metals non-metals in synthesis, materials with highest activity can be further identified. To enhance efficiency, strategies, such as vacancy creation, doping, interface engineering, facet changes size morphology active sites, have been summarized. integration reactions, including microscale activation, proton transfer, electron efficiency was discussed depth. Finally, urgent issues need addressed current were discussed, unique insights future development provided. review aims provide innovative ideas design improve rate selectivity catalysts.

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plants and profoundly affects crop yields qualities. Ammonium (NH4+ ) nitrate (NO3- are major inorganic N forms absorbed by from the surrounding environments. Intriguingly, NH4+ usually toxic to when it serves as sole or dominant source. It thus important coordinate utilization of alleviation toxicity. To fully decipher molecular mechanisms underlying how minimize toxicity may broadly benefit agricultural practice. In current minireview, we attempt discuss recent discoveries in strategies mitigating plants, which provide potential solutions improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) stress adaptions crops.

Nitrogen Journey in Plants: from Uptake to Metabolism to Stress response and Microbe Interaction

Опубликована: Авг. 23, 2023

Abstract Plant uptake and assimilation of essential nitrogen compounds from the soil are mainly in form nitrate ammonium ions. transporters (NRTs) play a crucial role into roots. NRT structural analysis reveals mechanisms by which these function. Similarly, plant (AMTs) mediate ions, their has provided valuable information on mechanisms. After roots, metabolism pathway involves incorporation organic compounds. Glutamine synthetase (GS) glutamate synthase (GoGAT) master players this pathway. They work together to convert ions glutamine glutamate, respectively. Different isoforms GS GoGAT exist, enabling plants fine-tune based environmental cues. Under severe abiotic stress conditions, nitric oxide (NO) been found enhance survival under drought. Furthermore, interaction between salinity availability studied, with NO identified as potential mediator responses salt stress. On other hand, excessive use fertilizers can lead health issues. Therefore, alternative strategies, such establishing fixation through diazotrophic microbiota, have explored reduce reliance synthetic fertilizers. Ultimately, genomics identify new genes related fixation, could be harnessed improve productivity. By deciphering genetic basis nitrogen-fixing traits, researchers aim develop crops that efficiently utilize environment.
