AimsNitrogen, especially NH4+, can stimulate the uptake of phosphorus in plants, but the underlying mechanisms have not been clearly elucidated. Because phosphate is taken up via an anion/H+co-transport process, we propose that the stimulated uptake of phosphorus by NH4+versus NO3-nutrition may be related to the activity of plasma membrane H+ATPase. In the present study, we investigated the effect of NH4+and NO3-on phosphorus uptake and plasma membrane H+ATPase activity in rice.MethodsRice plants were cultivated in a hydroponic solution with NH4+or NO3-. After 15 days of cultivation, phosphorus content was determined. Root plasma membrane was isolated using a two-phase partitioning system and hydrolytic H+-ATPase activity was determined by measuring the Piconcentration after a 30-min hydrolysis reaction. Relative expression of plasma membrane H+ATPase genes was analyzed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). H+ATPase enzyme concentration in the plasma membrane was detected by western blot. For33P uptake experiments, rice roots were incubated in the nutrient solution with addition of H333PO4.ResultsP content in both the roots and shoots of rice plants supplemented with NH4+was significantly higher than P content in plants grown with NO3-. Plasma membrane H+ATPase activity in NH4+-fed rice roots was significantly higher than that in NO3--fed rice roots. Real-time qRT-PCR and western blot results indicated that the higher activity of plasma membrane H+ATPase in NH4+-fed rice roots could be attributed to increased expression of theOSA1,OSA3,OSA7,OSA8andOSA9genes and an increase in H+ATPase enzyme concentration in the plasma membrane. Results from33P uptake experiments showed that rice roots incubated with NH4+absorbed more33P during the four-hour incubation than did rice roots incubated with NO3-. Vanadate inhibited33P uptake in rice roots supplied with NH4+, while fusicoccin stimulated33P uptake under NO3-nutrition.ConclusionsTaken together, these results suggest an involvement of plasma membrane H+ATPase in the stimulated uptake of phosphorus by rice roots supplemented with NH4+.
