Abstract:
The characteristics of nitrate uptake kinetic in the solution of five ratios of ammonium and nitrate by modified depleting way treated with 0.2 mmol/L CaSO4 solution for three days were studied to discover the ammonium and nitrate nutrition properties of banana seedlings.The result showed that the nitrate uptake kinetic characteristics of all treatments with five ratios of ammonium and nitrate followed the enzyme kinetic model of Michaelis-Menten.Increasing ammonium ratio remarkably influenced Vmax and Km;Vmax would be reduced more to the Hoagland solution adding 10% ammonium than that in placement of 10% ammonium with 10% nitrate,although Km had no distinct difference between these two treatments.The nitrate uptake rate would be reduced in soil of 100% nitrate treated with increasing ammonium ratios.The nitrate affinity.would be decreased treated with 10% more ammonium,while that for the 25% ammonium treatment was in the opposite direction.The nitrate uptake for banana seedlings belonged to low affinity system.Keywords:

The rate of influx of nitrate into the roots of intact barley plants was measured over a period of 3–5 min from external nitrate concentrations of 1–150 mmol m−3, using 13N-labelled nitrate as tracer. Ammonium at external concentrations of 0.005–50 mol m−3 inhibited nitrate influx in a manner which did not conform to a simple kinetic model but increased approximately as the logarithm of the ammonium concentration. At any particular ammonium concentration, inhibition of nitrate influx reached its full extent within 3 min of the ammonium being supplied and was not made more severe by up to 17 min pre-treatment with ammonium. On removing the external ammonium, nitrate influx returned to its original rate within about 3 min. Potassium at 0.005–50 mol m−3 did not reproduce the rapid effect of ammonium on nitrate influx. Net uptake of nitrate also decreased when ammonium was supplied, over a similar timescale and to a similar extent as nitrate influx. The decrease in nitrate influx caused by ammonium was sufficient to account for the observed reduction in net uptake, without necessitating any acceleration of nitrate efflux.

The uptake of nitrate and ammonium by rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings was compared under various conditions. Nitrate uptake showed a 1-hour lag phase and then a rapid absorption phase, whereas ammonium uptake showed passive absorption during the first hour, then a shoulder of absorption, followed by a rapid metabolism-dependent absorption phase. Light did not affect the uptake of nitrate or ammonium. The uptake of nitrate and ammonium was markedly suppressed by removal of the endosperm. After removal of the endosperm, the uptake was restored by exogenous supply of 30 mm sucrose. No appreciable nitrate uptake was detected at temperatures below 15 C, whereas appreciable ammonium uptake occurred at 15 C, although lowered passive absorption and complete inhibition of the rapid metabolism-dependent absorption phase were observed at 5 C.Nitrate uptake was decreased by aeration and also by bubbling the mixture with O(2). It was greatly depressed by bubbling the mixture with N(2). These results suggest that there is a low optimal O(2) concentration for nitrate uptake. In contrast, ammonium uptake was increased by aeration, not influenced by bubbling with O(2), and slightly decreased by bubbling the mixture with N(2).Nitrate uptake was almost entirely inhibited by addition of cycloheximide, KCN, or arsenate. These compounds had scarcely any effect on the passive absorption of ammonium, but entirely depressed its successive metabolism-dependent absorption. Ammonium uptake occurred before nitrate uptake in solution containing both nitrate and ammonium.
