Title Co-overexpression of genes for nitrogen transport, assimilation, and utilization boosts rice grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency
Abstract:
Nitrogen (N) fertilization is necessary for obtaining high rice yield. But excessive N fertilizer reduces rice plant N efficiency and causes negative effects such as environmental pollution. In this study, we assembled key genes involved in different nodes of N pathways to boost nitrate and ammonium uptake and assimilation, and to strengthen amino acid utilization to increase grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice. The combinations OsNPF8.9a × OsNR2, OsAMT1;2 × OsGS1;2 × OsAS1, and OsGS2 × OsAS2 × OsANT3 optimized nitrate assimilation, ammonium conversion, and N reutilization, respectively. In co-overexpressing rice lines obtained by co-transformation, the tiller number, biomass, and grain yield per plant of the OsAMT1;2 × OsGS1;2 × OsAS1-overexpressing line exceeded those of wild-type ZH11, the OsNPF8.9a × OsNR2 × OsGS1;2 × OsAS1-overexpressing line, and the OsGS2 × OsAS2 × OsANT3-overexpressing line. The glutamine synthase activity, free amino acids, and nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUtE) of the OsAMT1;2 × OsGS1;2 × OsAS1-overexpressing line exceeded those of ZH11 and other lines that combined key genes. N influx efficiency was increased in the OsAMT1;2 × OsGS1;2 × OsAS1-overexpressing line and OsNPF8.9a × OsNR2 × OsGS1;2 × OsAS1-overexpressing line under a low ammonium and a low nitrate treatment, respectively. We propose that combining overexpression of OsAMT1;2, OsGS1;2, and OsAS1 is a promising breeding strategy for systematically increasing rice grain yield and NUE by focusing on key nodes in the N pathway.
