description | Nitrogen (N) plays an important role in the growth cycle of the potato, and is an important guarantee of yield and quality. Rational N application is one of the key ways to improve a crop’s high and stable yield and economic and environmental benefits. The N nutrition level of potato regulates the gene expression of enzymes related to the N metabolism pathway, which shows the change of the activity of key enzymes in N metabolism, and finally realizes the regulation of N absorption and utilization. In this study, the key enzyme genes and enzyme activity of different genotypes of potato under different N supply treatments were identified, which laid a foundation for further exploration of the functions of each gene in the potato N metabolism pathway and provided theoretical basis for rational N application. The results showed that the relative expression levels of <i>StNRT1.5</i>, <i>StNR</i>, <i>StNiR</i> in leaves, <i>StNRT2.5</i>, <i>StNRT2.4</i>, <i>StGS1-2</i> in roots and <i>StNRT2.7</i>, <i>StGS1-3</i>, <i>StGS2</i>, <i>StGS1-4</i>, <i>StFd-GOGAT</i> in leaves and roots showed that the levels of N-inefficient potato Atlantic (A) were higher than the N-efficient potato Yanshu 4 (Y), while the relative expression levels of <i>StNRT2.5</i>, <i>StGS1-2</i> in leaves, <i>StNRT1.5</i><i>StNR</i>, <i>StNiR</i> in roots and <i>StGDH</i>, <i>StNADH-GOGAT</i> in leaves and roots showed that levels in Yanshu 4 (Y) were higher than in Atlantic (A). At the same time, we especially found that the GDH activity in the leaves of the two genotypes of potato were higher at low N levels. Additionally, the activity of NR and NiR, and the activity of GS and GOGAT were correlated. In addition, the changes of key enzymes in different N metabolism showed a certain continuity with the advancement of growth and development, and some gene expression rules and enzyme activity changes also showed a certain consistency. |
