Ammonium fluxes into plant roots: Energetics, kinetics and regulation

Abstract: Ammonium uptake across the plasma membranes of seedling roots of intact rice plants is thermodynamically active at low external concentrations, and consequently, electrogenic uniport is an unlikely mechanism for influx. At higher NH4+ concentrations uptake is passive and electrogenic uniport is a possibility. While passive permeation of NH3 is also possible at high external [NH4+], influx measurements at 10 mM NH4+ demonstrated a pH dependence which was inconsistent with significant NH3 permeation.

“…However, increased synthesis of amino acids (Fig. 5) could also downregulate NH 4 + uptake, as reported previously (Causin & Barneix, 1993;Feng et al, 1994;Glass et al, 1997).…”

“…Ammonium (NH 4 + ), one of the two inorganic nitrogen sources used by plants (NH 4 + and NO 3 for plant growth under many circumstances and, indeed, serves as a ubiquitous intermediate in plant metabolism (Glass et al 1997 (Guo et al 2007), and has been shown to act as an inducer of resistance against salinity conditions in other species (Fernandez-Crespo et al 2012). Nevertheless, NH 4 + frequently reaches levels in soils that affect plant growth negatively.…”

“…Quest'ultimo, che fornisce un contributo rilevante al trasporto a concentrazioni esterne di ammonio superiori a 1 mM, si presume coinvolga l'attività di canali in grado di trasportare anche potassio (White, 1996). Il funzionamento del sistema LATS non sembra essere influenzato dalla concentrazione interna di composti azotati (Glass et al, 1997;Rawat et al, 1999). Il sistema HATS che appare il maggior responsabile delle variazioni di velocità d'assorbimento determinate dalle fluttuazioni della concentrazione di azoto alla rizosfera, è represso in condizioni di adeguato rifornimento di azoto.…”

“…Studi recenti condotti sia a livello fisiologico che molecolare hanno dimostrato che alle concentrazioni usualmente riscontrate nei terreni agrari sia l'assorbimento del nitrato che quello dell'ammonio richiedono energia metabolica (Glass et al, 1997;Crawford e Glass, 1998). Per quanto riguarda il nitrato, il suo ingresso all'interno della cellula avviene sia contro gradiente elettrico che contro gradiente chimico.…”
