Abstract:

In order to explore the law of nitrogen absorption,transport and utilization of sesame at seedling stage,two sesame varieties with different nitrogen efficiency,including Zhengzhi HL05(ZZ,high efficiency)and Myanmar high yielder(MD,nitrogen inefficiency)were used as materials.The differences in root morphology,nitrogen absorption,transportation and utilization,nitrogen metabolism indices and related gene expressions involved were compared between the two accessions through hydroponics,under normal nitrogen(CK,17.86 mmol/L)and low nitrogen(LN,0.2 mmol/L)levels respectively.The results showed that under different nitrogen concentrations,the root morphological indexes,biomass,nitrogen accumulation,enzyme activities related to nitrogen metabolism and root nitrogen use efficiency of ZZ variety were higher than those of MD on the whole.Low nitrogen stress significantly decreased the biomass,nitrogen accumulation,and leaf nitrogen metabolism-related enzyme activities,increased root morphological indexes,root activity,root-shoot ratio,nitrogen physiological use efficiency,root dry matter use efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency.Among them,the biomass,nitrogen accumulation,transport coefficient,root nitrogen physiological use efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency of ZZ were 2.48,1.08,1.73,2.36 and 2.65 folds of MD,respectively.qRT-PCR results showed that under low nitrogen stress,SiNPF6.3a/b,SiNPF4.6a,SiNRT2.4a/b,SiNRT2.5,SiNPF7.3a/b and SiNPF2.13 genes involved in NO 3 - absorption,transport and redistribution of the nitrogen efficient variety ZZ in leaves were up-regulated,and the gene expression levels were higher than those of the nitrogen inefficient variety MD.In Conclusion,under low nitrogen stress,nitrogen efficient sesame varieties had more developed roots and higher ability of nitrogen assimilation,transport and redistribution at seedling stage,so as to obtain higher nitrogen accumulation and nitrogen use efficiency.
