RESUMO

Nitrogen uptake is crucial to wheat nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The study's findings indicate that both high- and low-NUE cultivars exhibited highest nitrogen uptake efficiency (NupE) under 0.2 mM nitrogen. Under 2 mM nitrogen, their NupEs decrease significantly, while uptakes to NO3- were notably higher than that of NH4+. Strikingly, high-NUE cultivars exhibited a significantly higher NH4+ uptake rate than low NUE cultivars, resulting in a marked improvement in their ability to take up nitrogen. The NUEs of the cultivars with 5 mM nitrogen were almost half that of 2 mM nitrogen. NO3- uptake primarily occurred in the mature zone of roots, while NH4+ uptake took place in the root tip meristem and elongation zones. Notably, the NH4+ uptake in root tip meristematic zone of high-NUE cultivar was significantly higher than that of low NUE cultivar. Furthermore, the NO3- uptake of high-NUE cultivar in the root mature zone was significantly higher than that of low-NUE cultivar under 2 mM nitrogen. These findings were consistent with the significantly higher expression levels of TaAMT in root tip and of TaNRT in root mature area of high-NUE cultivar compared to low-NUE cultivar, respectively, enabling efficient absorption of NO3- and NH4+ and transport of NO3- to shoot. The high-NUE cultivars showed elevated expression of amino acid transporters further promoting nitrogen uptake, and conversion of nitrogen into ureides and amino acids further facilitated inorganic nitrogen uptake by roots. The differential findings offer valuable insights into novel variety breeding of high NUE in the future.

RESUMO

The ureides allantoin and allantoate serve as nitrogen (N) transport compounds in plants, and more recently, allantoin has been shown to play a role in signaling. In planta, tissue ureide levels are controlled by the activity of enzymes of the purine degradation pathway and by ureide transporters called ureide permeases (UPS). Little is known about the physiological function of UPS proteins in crop plants, and especially in monocotyledon species. Here, we identified 13 TaUPS genes in the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome. Phylogenetic and genome location analyses revealed a close relationship of wheat UPSs to orthologues in other grasses and a division into TaUPS1, TaUPS2.1, and TaUPS2.2 groups, each consisting of three homeologs, with a total of four tandem duplications. Expression, localization, and biochemical analyses resolved spatio-temporal expression patterns of TaUPS genes, transporter localization at the plasma membrane, and a role for TaUPS2.1 proteins in cellular import of ureides and phloem and seed loading. In addition, positive correlations between TaUPS1 and TaUPS2.1 transcripts and ureide levels were found. Together the data support that TaUPSs function in regulating ureide pools at source and sink, along with source-to-sink transport. Moreover, comparative studies between wheat cultivars grown at low and high N strengthened a role for TaUPS1 and TaUPS2.1 transporters in efficient N use and in controlling primary metabolism. Co-expression, protein-protein interaction, and haplotype analyses further support TaUPS involvement in N partitioning, N use efficiency, and domestication. Overall, this work provides a new understanding on UPS transporters in grasses as well as insights for breeding resilient wheat varieties with improved N use efficiency.
