GENE REGULATION AND MOLECULAR GENETICS

Expression of NADH-Specific and NAD(P)H-Bispecific Nitrate Reductase Genes in Response to Nitrate in Barley

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has two, differentially regulated, nitrate reductase (NR) genes, one encoding the NADH-specific NR (Nar1) and the other encoding the NAD(P)H-bispecific NR (Nar7). Regulation of the two NR genes by nitrate was investigated in wild-type Steptoe and in an NADH-specific NR structural gene mutant (Az12). Gene-specific probes were used to estimate NADH and NAD(P)H NR mRNAs. The kinetics of induction by nitrate were similar for the two NR genes; expression was generally below the limits of detection prior to induction, reached maximum levels after 1 to 2 h of induction in roots and 4 to 8 h of induction in leaves, and then declined to steady-state levels. Derepression of the NAD(P)H NR gene in leaves of the NADH-specific NR gene mutant Az12 did not appear to be associated with changes in nitrate assimilation products or nitrate flux. Nitrate deprivation resulted in rapid decreases in NADH and NAD(P)H NR mRNAs in seedling roots and leaves and equally rapid decreases in the concentration of nitrate in the xylem sap. These results indicate that factors affecting nitrate uptake and transport could have a direct influence on NR expression in barley leaves.
