Regulation of secondary metabolism by the carbon–nitrogen status in tobacco: nitrate inhibits large sectors of phenylpropanoid metabolism

Fritz, Christina, Palacios‐Rojas, Natalia, Feil, Regina, Stitt, Mark·2006·The Plant Journal

Abstract

Summary: Interactions between nitrogen and carbon metabolism modulate many aspects of the metabolism, physiology and development of plants. This paper investigates the contribution of nitrate and nitrogen metabolism to the regulation of phenylpropanoid and nicotine synthesis. Wild‐type tobacco was grown on 12 or 0.2 m m nitrate and compared with a nitrate reductase‐deficient mutant [Nia30(145)] growing on 12 m m nitrate. Nitrate‐deficient wild‐type plants accumulate high levels of a range of phenylpropanoids including chlorogenic acid, contain high levels of rutin, are highly lignified, but contain less nicotine than nitrogen‐replete wild‐type tobacco. Nia30(145) resembles nitrate‐deficient wild‐type plants with respect to the levels of amino acids, but accumulates large amounts of nitrate. The levels of phenylpropanoids, rutin and lignin resemble those in nitrogen‐replete wild‐type plants, whereas the level of nicotine resembles that in nitrate‐deficient wild‐type plants. Expression arrays and real time RT‐PCR revealed that a set of genes required for phenylpropanoid metabolism including PAL , 4CL and HQT are induced in nitrogen‐deficient wild‐type plants but not in Nia30(145). It is concluded that nitrogen deficiency leads to a marked shift from the nitrogen‐containing alkaloid nicotine to carbon‐rich phenylpropanoids. The stimulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism is triggered by changes of nitrate, rather than downstream nitrogen metabolites, and is mediated by induction of a set of enzymes in the early steps of the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
