V-ATPase and V-PPase at the Tonoplast Affect NO3− Content in Brassica napus by Controlling Distribution of NO3− Between the Cytoplasm and Vacuole
2015
Overview
Nitrate, once taken up by plants, can either be stored in vacuoles or reduced by nitrate reductase in the cytoplasm. High accumulation of NO
3
−
in the vacuole occurs when assimilation into the cytoplasm is saturated. This study elucidates how proton pumps at the tonoplast (V-ATPase and V-PPase) affect the NO
3
−
content of
Brassica napus
by controlling the distribution of NO
3
−
between the cytoplasm and vacuole. Pot experiments were conducted in a greenhouse under normal N (15.0 mM nitrate) conditions using
B. napus
genotypes that demonstrated either high (Xiangyou15) or low (814) nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The NO
3
−
content of the high NUE genotype was significantly lower than that of the low NUE genotype, whereas the total N per plant of the two genotypes was almost the same, suggesting that the different NUE between the two genotypes is not due to the difference of NO
3
−
uptake. The relative expression levels of V-ATPase (
vha
-
a3
) and V-PPase (
avp1
) genes in the high NUE genotype were significantly lower than in the low NUE genotype, resulting in lower V-ATPase and V-PPase activities in the high NUE genotype. The transport of NO
3
−
and protons from the cytoplasm to the vacuole is powered by V-ATPase and V-PPase, so their lower activities increase H
+
efflux from and reduce NO
3
−
influx into the vacuoles of the high NUE genotype. We conclude that the lower activity of proton pumps at the tonoplast is the main reason the high NUE genotype possesses lower NO
3
−
content and higher N-use efficiency.
