Publication Open Access Leaves play a central role in the adaptation of nitrogen and sulfur metabolism to ammonium nutrition in oilseed rape (Brassica napus)(BioMed Central, 2017) Coleto, Inmaculada; Peña, Marlon de la; Rodríguez Escalante, Jon; Bejarano, Iraide; Glauser, Gaëtan; Aparicio Tejo, Pedro María; González Moro, María Begoña; Marino Bilbao, Daniel; Ciencias del Medio Natural; Natura Ingurunearen ZientziakBackground: The coordination between nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) assimilation is required to suitably provide plants with organic compounds essential for their development and growth. The N source induces the adaptation of many metabolic processes in plants; however, there is scarce information about the influence that it may exert on the functioning of S metabolism. The aim of this work was to provide an overview of N and S metabolism in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) when exposed to different N sources. To do so, plants were grown in hydroponic conditions with nitrate or ammonium as N source at two concentrations (0.5 and 1 mM). Results: Metabolic changes mainly occurred in leaves, where ammonium caused the up-regulation of enzymes involved in the primary assimilation of N and a general increase in the concentration of N-compounds (NH4 +, amino acids and proteins). Similarly, the activity of key enzymes of primary S assimilation and the content of S-compounds (glutathione and glucosinolates) were also higher in leaves of ammonium-fed plants. Interestingly, sulfate level was lower in leaves of ammonium-fed plants, which was accompanied by the down-regulation of SULTR1 transporters gene expression. Conclusions: The results highlight the impact of the N source on different steps of N and S metabolism in oilseed rape, notably inducing N and S assimilation in leaves, and put forward the potential of N source management to modulate the synthesis of compounds with biotechnological interest, such as glucosinolates.Publication Open Access Quantitative proteomics reveals the importance of nitrogen source to control glucosinolate metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica oleracea(Oxford University Press, 2016) Marino Bilbao, Daniel; Ariz Arnedo, Idoia; Lasa Larrea, Berta; Santamaría Martínez, Enrique; Aparicio Tejo, Pedro María; Ciencias del Medio Natural; Natura Ingurunearen ZientziakAccessing different nitrogen (N) sources involves a profound adaptation of plant metabolism. In this study, a quantitative proteomic approach was used to further understand how the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana adjusts to different N sources when grown exclusively under nitrate or ammonium nutrition. Proteome data evidenced that glucosinolate metabolism was differentially regulated by the N source and that both TGG1 and TGG2 myrosinases were more abundant under ammonium nutrition, which is generally considered to be a stressful situation. Moreover, Arabidopsis plants displayed glucosinolate accumulation and induced myrosinase activity under ammonium nutrition. Interestingly, these results were also confirmed in the economically important crop broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica). Moreover, these metabolic changes were correlated in Arabidopsis with the differential expression of genes from the aliphatic glucosinolate metabolic pathway. This study underlines the importance of nitrogen nutrition and the potential of using ammonium as the N source in order to stimulate glucosinolate metabolism, which may have important applications not only in terms of reducing pesticide use, but also for increasing plants’ nutritional value.Publication Open Access Assessing the efficiency of dimethylpyrazole-based nitrification inhibitors under elevated CO2 conditions(Elsevier, 2021) Bozal-Leorri, Adrián; González Murua, Carmen; Marino Bilbao, Daniel; Aparicio Tejo, Pedro María; Corrochano Monsalve, Mario; Institute for Multidisciplinary Research in Applied Biology - IMABNitrification inhibitors (NIs) are useful tools to reduce nitrogen (N) losses derived from fertilization in agriculture. However, it remains unclear whether a future climate scenario with elevated CO2 could affect NIs efficiency. Thus, the objective of this work was to study whether the increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration would affect the efficiency of two dimethylpyrazole-based NIs: 3,4-dimethylpyrazol phosphate (DMPP) and 3,4-dimethylpyrazol succinic acid (DMPSA) in a plant-soil microcosm. To do so, Hordeum vulgare var. Henley plants were grown in soil fertilized with ammonium sulphate (AS) with or without NIs under controlled environmental conditions at ambient CO2 (aCO(2)) or elevated CO2 (eCO(2); 700 ppm). In the soil, mineral nitrogen and N2O emission evolution were monitored together with nitrifying and denitrifying population that were quantified by qPCR. In the plant, biomass, total amino acid content and isotopic discrimination of N and C were measured. Both NIs showed greater efficiency to maintain soil NH4+ content under eCO(2) compared to aCO(2), as a consequence of 80% reduction of AOB abundance in eCO(2). Indeed, both inhibitors were able to lessen 53% the N2O emissions in eCO(2) compared to aCO(2). Regarding the plant, DMPP and DMPSA negatively affected plant biomass at aCO(2) but this effect was restored at eCO(2) due to a better ammonium tolerance associated with an increase in total amino acid content. Overall, DMPP and DMPSA NIs were highly efficient under eCO(2), reducing N2O emissions and keeping N in the soil stable for longer while maintaining plant biomass production.
