摘要: Ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) are the two major forms of inorganic nitrogen absorbed by plants and can also act as signals regulating gene expression. Tea plant preferentially absorbs and utilizes NH4+ over NO3-, which in turn significantly affect the tea quality. However, information about the signaling functions of the N forms regulating secondary metabolism in tea plant is very limited in comparison with vast prevailing investigation on plant primary nitrogen and carbon metabolism. In the present experiment, tea plants were treated with NH4+ or NO3- enriched hydroponic medium for a short duration (30 min) and were subjected to transcriptome and selected metabolites analyses. The objective was to dissect the signaling effect of N forms regulating the metabolism of quality-related metabolites mainly flavonoids, caffeine and theanine in this economically important crop. Our results suggested that genes encoding for nitrogen transporters were highly responsive to both NH4+ and NO3- signaling molecules in tea roots, while they were specifically induced by NH4+ in leaves. Otherwise, the accumulation of theanine in roots was promoted by NH4+ signaling, while both NH4+ and NO3- suppressed the expression of genes in the upstream pathway of caffeine biosynthesis (SAM cycle) in leaves. Furthermore, NH4+ supply was associated with enhanced biosynthesis of catechin and epicatechin in tea plant leaves. In conclusion, NH4+ signaling induced higher response of gene expression and metabolism in leaves but lower response in roots than that of NO3-, indicating that the transduction of N signal played a vital role on the preferential assimilation for NH4+ over NO3- in tea plant. The biosynthesis of theanine and catechin could be induced by NH4+ as signaling molecule in tea plant within a short time. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
