Bupleurum (Apiaceae) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat inflammatory and infectious diseases. Although roots are the only used parts in China, other countries use the whole plant. The yield and quality of Bupleurum depend mainly on fertilizers, especially nitrogen. The current study aimed to assess the relationship between the nitrogen fertilization level and the quality and metabolomic response of different parts (flowers, main shoots, lateral shoots and roots) of Bupleurum to three nitrogen fertilization levels (control group: 0 kg·ha−1; low-nitrogen group: 55 kg·ha−1; high-nitrogen group: 110 kg·ha−1). The results showed that a high nitrogen level increases Bupleurum yield and quality parameters only in aerial parts, especially flowers, but has no significant effect on roots. The HPLC method was exploited for simultaneous quantification of three saikosaponins (A, C and D), which are the main bioactive components in the plant. It was found that the total content of saikosaponins decreased with high nitrogen fertilization in roots but significantly increased in flowers. Moreover, nitrogen fertilizer promoted the content of saikosaponin A but inhibited saikosaponins C and saikosaponins D in most parts of the plant. To study the response of primary metabolites, we adopted gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC−MS) analysis; 84 metabolites were identified that were mostly up-regulated with a high nitrogen level in flowers but down-regulated in roots. Four differential metabolites—D-fructose, lactose, ether and glycerol—were recognized as key metabolites in Bupleurum under nitrogen fertilization. Meanwhile, The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment results explained that the impact of nitrogen fertilization on Bupleurum was attributed to the C-metabolism, N-metabolism, and lipids metabolism. This research put forward new insights into potential mechanisms and the relationship between the quality and yield of Bupleurum and nitrogen fertilization.

An experiment in temperature-controlled glasshouse chambers at Yanco Agricultural Institute examined floret sterility in lnga and Calrose rice induced by low temperature and high nitrogen level. Low temperature (12�C) ,for 4 d during microsporogenesis and anthesis produced considerable sterility in both cultivars; lnga was more sensitive than Calrose. Sensitivity was greatest when florets from the mid-section of the panicle were passing through the early microspore phase of pollen development. At both stages, the amount of low-temperature induced sterility was increased by high nitrogen supply. In the absence of low temperature, high nitrogen levels induced sterility in lnga only.

Protein nitrogen content was followed in fruits of four apple varieties during cool storage under conditions designed to induce different rates of water loss. Increase in protein nitrogen content during cool storage did not appear to be related to the development of breakdown. High nitrogen level in the fruit, high relative humidity in the storage atmosphere, and advanced maturity at harvest all increased susceptibility to breakdown, but only the first of these factors influenced the protein nitrogen level. An inverse relationship between percentage water loss and breakdown incidence was demonstrated.

The aim of the present study was to obtain some informations on the productivity of four chosen barley varieties growing at low and high nitrogen level. Some parameters of the yield structure and nitrate reductase activity were taken into consideration. It was found that there exist some differences in the yield between the compared varieties and some differences in their reaction to a high N level in the soil. The grain yield increase of the plants treated with high nitrogen doses was above all the result of the increase in dry matter of the lateral shoots and in leaf area. Distinct increase in the number of grains per ear and 1000-grains weight was also observed. The amount of reduced nitrogen collected during the growth season depended, in part, on the nitrate reductase activity and in part on the amount of the enzyme present in the plant. A rise of the nitrogen level caused an increase in nitrate reductase activity, in all varieties. The different influence of nitrogen on the growth of green organs in the compared varieties caused differences in the amount of the enzyme present in the plants and in protein yields.

Maintenance of the ammonium level in batch cultures of a plant cell line initiated from Ipomoea root tissue resulted in cells with a higher nitrogen content and a greater total accumulation of nitrogen in the cells. Utilization of nitrate was not suppressed. The increased supply of ammonium did not, by itself, increase the yield of dry cells, but it did permit a twofold or greater increase in cell yield when sucrose was added subsequently.Supplementary feeding of ammonium and sucrose to a batch culture that had exhausted the initial supply of ammonium rapidly returned the cells to a state of high nitrogen content, favored further utilization of nitrate, and greatly increased cell yield.These results are discussed in terms of growth phases. The presence of ammonium in the medium appeared to induce and maintain a growth phase characterized by a high nitrogen level in the cells. After the ammonium supply was depleted a second phase occurred, characterized by a rapid increase in dry weight without proportional accumulation of nitrogen. This second phase was not caused by a limiting rate of nitrate utilization, nor was it directly related to observed pH changes. We conclude that the two phases relate to the presence and absence of ammonium in the medium.

When plants of Agropyron repens L. Beauv. are grown at a high nitrogen level (210 p.p.m. N) apical dominance in the rhizome is sufficiently reduced to permit the continued growth of the lateral buds. If, however, the rhizome is isolated from the parent shoot the dominance of the apex is markedly increased and lateral bud growth is strongly inhibited.Experiments with these isolated, high-nitrogen rhizomes showed that apical dominance could be significantly reduced either by increasing the length of the rhizome or by retarding the growth of the rhizome apex by exposing it to light. The growth potential of the lateral buds declined rapidly as the duration of their attachment to the rhizome apex was increased. This effect was associated with the translocation of carbohydrate to the rhizome apex and could be overcome by providing the isolated buds with a 2% sucrose solution. When buds were isolated from the rhizome apex before their growth potential was exhausted a marked increase in their carbohydrate content was apparent after 48 h. This increase was associated with their resumption of growth. Buds still attached to the apex could be released from inhibition by supplying sucrose solutions to the cut end of the rhizome.The results suggest that, under the experimental conditions, apical dominance was due primarily to competition for a limited carbohydrate supply.

The effects of various environmental conditions on bud development in seedlings of Agropyron repens L. Beauv. were investigated. The bud in the axil of leaf 1 was the most responsive. At a high nitrogen level (315 p.p.m.) most of the buds at this position developed as tillers, and at a low level (2.1 p.p.m.) as rhizomes. A transition from rhizome to shoot development was induced by increasing the nitrogen supply after the rhizomes were initiated. Temperature had a similar effect, tillers being produced at a high (day) temperature (27 °C) and rhizomes at a low temperature (10 °C). Reducing the daylength from 18 to 9 h strongly promoted tillering and almost completely prevented rhizome development. A reduction of light intensity from 4000 to 2000 ft-c did not affect bud development but appeared to increase the tendency for rhizomes to form a terminal shoot. Similar effects were shown by the buds at the coleoptile and leaf 2 positions but the inherent tendency for the former to develop as rhizomes and the latter as tillers limited their response.There was some evidence from these results that bud and rhizome development is controlled by a similar mechanism and that the carbohydrate level may be an important factor in determining the inherent pattern of bud development.
