8A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of two different low nitrogen 9 tolerant tartary buckwheat varieties' (Diqing buckwheat (DQ, low nitrogen resistance) 10 and Heifeng 1 (HF, low nitrogen sensitive) response mechanism of organic acids to low 11 nitrogen stress. The results showed that the soil moisture of HF and DQ under low 12 nitrogen treatment decreased 24.2% and 14.32%, respectively when compared with 13 normal nitrogen treatment, and the water consumption of DQ was significantly higher 14 than that of HF at seedling stage. Under low nitrogen treatment, the soil pH value of DQ 15 was 1.44% and 8.44% lower than that of HF at seedling and flowering stages, 16 respectively, the content of NH 4 + in DQ soil was 8.2% lower than that of HF at maturity 17 stage, the content of NO 3 − was significantly higher than that HF 49.2%, 12.9%, and 18 16.6% in each growth period, respectively. Split plot analysis showed that nitrogen 19 treatment significantly affected the organic acids content in the soil of the buckwheat. The 20 secretion content of organic acids are different among buckwheat cultivars under low 21 nitrogen stress. In the soil of DQ, the content of malonic acid was higher than that of HF 22 by 34.39% at maturity stage; the content of oxalic acid was respectively higher than that 23 of HF by 24.86% and 24.52% at seedling and flowering stages; the content of propionic 24 acid was significantly higher than that of HF by 7.36%、 9.44% and23.47% in each growth 25 period, respectively; and tartaric acid acetic acid also showed the same trend at flowering 26 and maturity stages. In summary, tartary buckwheat may regulate the nutrient availability 27 of rhizosphere soil through the secretion of organic acids in the root system to cope with 28 the low nitrogen stress environment. For the cultivation of tartary buckwheat on poor soil 29 should consider the differences cultivaring barren resistance varieties to increase 30 efficiency in the future. 31 Keywords: low nitrogen stress; Tartary buckwheat; organic acids 32 42 Therefore, focusing on the overall objective of building a green, efficient and sustainable 43 agricultural production system, the selection of crops with low nitrogen tolerance can not 44 only ensure the normal growth of crops, but also control the amount of nitrogen fertilizer 45 and improve the utilization efficiency of nitrogen and it has significance for improving 46 the ecological environment [4]. 47 Many scholars have conducted research on the low-nitrogen-resistant characteristics 48 of large crops such as wheat and corn [5], but there are few researches on small grains 49 such as tartary buckwheat. Most of the buckwheat is grown in the alpine region, which 50 has the characteristics of short fertility cycle, strong adaptability, drought tolerance and 51 barrenness, and it has extremely high edible value and medicinal value, which is an 52 important disaster relief and pioneer crops [6]. The research on tartary buckwheat mainly 53 focuses on the edible medicinal value, ge...
