“…Positive results were achieved for genes of a nitrate reductase ( OsNR2 , Gao et al, 2019b ), glutamine synthetases ( NtGS1 , Oliveira et al, 2002 ; ZmGln1-3 , Martin et al, 2006 ; SbGS1 , Urriola and Rathore, 2015 ; bacterial GS I , Zhu et al, 2015 ; DvGS2 , Zhu et al, 2014 ), glutamate synthases ( MsNADH-GOGAT , Chichkova et al, 2001 ; OsGOGAT1 , Lee et al, 2020a ), asparagine synthetases ( OsASN1 , Lee et al, 2020b ; E. coli EcasnA , Seiffert et al, 2004 ), nitrate ( OsNRT1.1A , Wang et al, 2018b ; ( At ) NC4N , a synthetic gene construct based on Arabidopsis gene sequences, Chen et al, 2020 ), and amino acid transporters ( PsAAP1 , Perchlik and Tegeder, 2017 ) as well as for glutamate dehydrogenases ( Trichurus sp. TrGDH , Du et al, 2019 ; C. ehrenbergii CeGDH , Zhou et al, 2015b ; P. cystidiosus PcGDH , Zhou et al, 2014 ; E. cheralieri EcGDH , Tang et al, 2018 ; E. coli EcgdhA , Ameziane et al, 2000 ; Lightfoot et al, 2007 ; Aspergillus nidulans AngdhA , Egami et al, 2012 ) and autophagy-related proteins ( AtATG8 , Chen et al, 2019 ; OsATG8a , Yu et al, 2019 ; OsATG8b , Zhen et al, 2019a , Fan et al, 2020 ; OsATG8c , Zhen et al, 2019b ). Pathways of N (re)assimilation, AA synthesis and conversion (AA (1) to AA (2) ), organelle and N metabolite degradation, as well as N phloem loading and xylem-phloem exchange (arrows with circle) are shown.…”
