Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is an ammonium preferring plant species. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying this preference. Herein, a chloroplastic glutamine synthetase gene (CsGS2), which is vital for nitrogen assimilation in mesophyll tissue, was isolated from tea cultivarC. sinensiscv. ‘Longjing43’. The full length cDNA ofCsGS2was 1622 bp, having a 1299 bp open reading frame encoding a 432-amino acid protein. Homology search and sequence analysis demonstrated that CsGS2 protein carried the basic characteristics of a canonical GS2 domain and shared high identity with GS2s from other plant species. Subcellular localization and immunolocalization of CsGS2 revealed that it is localized in chloroplast. qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses showed thatCsGS2was expressed in a leaf-specific pattern, such that bothCsGS2and its protein were most abundant in mature leaves. Temporal expression patterns ofCsGS2showed minor differences in response to ammonium and nitrate nutrition. The transcript level ofCsGS2was significantly induced in mature leaves during the development of new shoots, whereas darkness inhibited this induction significantly. These results suggested thatCsGS2does not play a role in the differential utilization mechanisms of differing nitrogen forms in tea, and imply a light dependent transcription regulation in mature leaves during the development of new shoots.
