摘要： Over application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers to crops ultimately causes N pollution in the ecosphere. Studying the response of plant growth and N uptake to low-N stress may aid in elucidating the mechanism of low N tolerance in plants and developing crop cultivars with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). In this study, a high-NUE mutant line A9-29 and the wild-type barley cultivar Hua30 were subjected to hydroponic culture with high and low N supply, and the dry weight, N accumulation, root morphology, and expression levels of the potential genes involved in nitrate uptake and assimilation were measured at seedling stage. The results showed that under low-N conditions, A9-29 had a higher dry weight, N content, N influx rate and larger root uptake area than did Hua30. Under long-term low-N stress, compared with Hua30, A9-29 demonstrated higher expression of the HvNRT2/3 genes, especially HvNRT2.1, HvNRT2.5, and HvNRT3.3. Similarly, the expression levels of N assimilation genes including HvNIA1, HvNIR1, HvGS1_1, HvGS1_3, and HvGLU2 increased significantly in A9-29. Taken together, our results suggested that the larger root area and the upregulation of nitrate transporter and assimilation genes may contribute to stronger N uptake capacity for plant growth and N accumulation in responding to long-term low-N stress. These findings may aid in understanding the mechanism of low N tolerance and developing barley cultivars with high-NUE.
