Hormonal regulation in nitrate and sulfate assimilation under sulfur deficient condition in Brassica napus L.

To investigate possible roles of plant hormones in sulfate and nitrate assimilation, phytohormone, enzyme involved in N/S assimilation were assessed.Under S deficient condition, a significant induction of salicylic acid (SA) was detected, the exogenous supply of cysteine (Cys) and sulfate to S-deprived plants resulted in a marked increase of SA.However, no significant changes were observed in the content of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and jasmonic acid (JA).N/S assimilation related enzymes such as ATP sulfurylase (ATPs), adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate reductase (APR), nitrate reductase (NR) and glutamine synthetase (GS) were depressed by S deficiency but not O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase (OASTL).The addition of Cys, sulfate and glutamine (Gln) tended to recover those enzymatic activities.The findings indicate that SA induction as affected by sulfur deficiency may involve in the manipulation of sulfate and nitrate metabolism via the activation of assimilatory enzymes O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase and glutamine synthetase.
