Abstract:Crops assimilate nitrogen (N) as ammonium via the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase (GS/GOGAT) pathway which is of central importance for N uptake and potentially represents a bottle neck for N fertiliser-use efficiency. The aim of this study was to assess whether genetic diversity for N-assimilation capacity exists in wheat and could be exploited for breeding. Wheat plants rapidly, within 6 h, responded to N application with an increase in GS activity. This was not accompanied by an increase in GS gene … Show more
“…Both varieties were included in the wheat pangenome sequencing project (Walkowiak et al, 2020). Seeds were surface sterilized and pre-germinated seeds transplanted into fully fertilized potting mix as described by (Oszvald et al, 2022). Plants were well-watered throughout to avoid drought as a confounding variable.…”
