Abstract: To study the response of rice Jinyou 402 seedling to nitrogen forms under partial root drying condition, a hydroponic experiment simulated by PEG was conducted using the method of nutrient solution culture. The trials had three water conditions:non-water stress, partial root drying, and all root water stress, and three nitrogen forms:NH4+-N/NO3--N of 0/100,50/50,100/0). Nitrogen absorption and accumulation, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, root length, root surface area and root volume of rice were determined. The results showed that under partial root drying condition, supplying both NH4+-N and NO3--N were most beneficial to nitrogen absorption and accumulation of rice seedling; The nitrogen absorption and accumulation were the minimum when NO3--N was supplied in two sides of root; The photosynthetic rate of rice, supplied with NH4+-N and NO3--N, were not affected obviously, but the transpiration rate and stomatal conductance declined significantly under partial root drying condition, compared to the rice with no water stress. The photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance of rice supplied with NH4+-N and NO3--N in two sides of root were the highest among different nitrogen forms, and the lowest supplied with single NO3--N. WUE of rice supplied with NH4+-N and NO3--N was the biggest under the condition of partial root water stress. In condition of partial root drying, root length, root surface area, and root volume of most rices supplied with NH4+-N and NO3--N were all greater than those of rice supplied with single NH4+-N or NO3--N, and there were no significant difference between two sides of root. Furthermore, root length, root surface area, and root volume of rice subjected to partial root water stress environment were all greater than those with no water stress treatments, except for rice supplied with only NO3--N in two sides of root. This research proved that the interaction of partial root drying with nitrogen forms could promoted the water and nitrogen absorption of rice seedlings.
