Article Abstract
Higher plants have 2 GOGAT species, Fd-GOGAT and NADH-GOGAT. While Fd-GOGAT mainly assimilates ammonium in leaves, which is derived from photorespiration, the function of NADH-GOGAT, which is highly expressed in roots, (1) needs to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of NADH-GOGAT in Arabidopsis roots. The supply of ammonium to the roots caused an accumulation of NADH-GOGAT, while Fd-GOGAT 1 and Fd-GOGAT 2 showed no response. A promoter-GUS fusion analysis and immunohistochemistry showed that NADH-GOGAT was located in non-green tissues like vascular bundles, shoot apical meristem, pollen, stigma, and roots. The localization of NADH-GOGAT and Fd-GOGAT was not overlapped. NADH-GOGAT T-DNA insertion lines showed a reduction of glutamate and biomass under normal CO2 conditions. These data emphasizes the importance of NADH-GOGAT in the ammonium assimilation of Arabidopsis roots.

Ammonium is an important form of inorganic nitrogen, which is essential for plant growth and development, and the uptake of ammonium is mediated by different members of ammonium transporters (AMTs). It is reported that PsAMT1.2 is specially expressed in the root of poplar, and the overexpression of PsAMT1.

Although ammonium (NH-N) is an important nutrient for plants, increases in soil nitrogen (N) input and atmospheric deposition have made ammonium toxicity a serious ecological problem. In this study, we explored the effects of NH-N stress on the ultrastructure, photosynthesis, and NH-N assimilation of Ottelia cordata (Wallich) Dandy, an endangered heteroblastic plant native to China. Results showed that 15 and 50 mg L NH-N damaged leaf ultrastructure and decreased the values of maximal quantum yield (F/F), maximal fluorescence (F), and relative electron transport rate (rETR) in the submerged leaves of O.

Nitrogen (N) limits plant productivity, and its uptake and assimilation may be regulated by N sources, N assimilating enzymes, and N assimilation genes. Mastering the regulatory mechanisms of N uptake and assimilation is a key way to improve plant nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, it is poorly known how these factors interact to influence the growth process of pecans.
