The short-lived radiotracer 13N was used to study feedback regulation of
nitrate influx through the inducible high-affinity transport system of
barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Steptoe) roots. Both wild-type plants and the
mutant line Az12:Az70 (genotype nar1a;nar7w), which is deficient in the
NADH-specific and NAD(P)H-bispecific nitrate reductases (R.L. Warner, R.C.
Huffaker [1989] Plant Physiol 91: 947-953) showed strong feedback
inhibition of nitrate influx within approximately 5 d of exposure to 100
fmu]M nitrate. The result with the mutant, in which the flux of nitrogen
into reduced products is greatly reduced, indicated that nitrate itself was
capable of exercising feedback regulation upon its own influx. This
conclusion was supported by the observation that feedback in wild-type
plants occurred in both the presence and absence of L-methionine
sulfoximine, an inhibitor of ammonium assimilation. Nitrite and ammonium
were also found to be capable of exerting feedback inhibition upon nitrate
influx, although it was not determined whether these ions themselves or
subsequent metabolites were responsible for the effect. It is suggested
that feed-back regulation of nitrate influx is potentially mediated through
several nitrogen pools, including that of nitrate itself.
