Abstract
BackgroundFor cereal crop breeding, it is meaningful to improve utilization efficiency (NUE) under low nitrogen (LN) levels while maintaining crop yield. OsCBL1-knockdown (OsCBL1-KD) plants exhibited increased nitrogen accumulation and NUE in the field of low N level.ResultsOsCBL1-knockdown (OsCBL1-KD) in rice increased the expression of a nitrate transporter gene OsNRT2.2. In addition, the expression of OsNRT2.2, was suppressed by OsCCA1, a negative regulator, which could directly bind to the MYB-binding elements (EE) in the region of OsNRT2.2 promoter. The OsCCA1 expression was found to be down-regulated in OsCBL1-KD plants. At the low Nitrogen (N) level field, the OsCBL1-KD plants exhibited a substantial accumulation of content and higher NUE, and their actual biomass remained approximately as the same as that of the wild type.ConclusionThese results indicated that down-regulation of OsCBL1 expression could upregulate the expression of OsNRT2.2 by suppressing the expression of OsCCA1and then increasing the NUE of OsCBL1-KD plants under low nitrogen availability.
