Our previous study has shown that nitrogen plays an important role in dealing with significantly increased chalkiness caused by elevated temperature. However, the role of nitrogen metabolites has not been given sufficient attention, and its regulatory mechanism is not clear. This study investigated the effects of high temperature and nitrogen fertilizer on the synthesis of grain storage protein and further explored the quality mechanism under the actual scenario of field warming. Results showed that increased temperature and nitrogen fertilizer could affect the activities of nitrogen metabolism enzymes, namely, glutamate synthetase, glutamine synthetase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and the expressions of storage protein synthesis factor genes, namely, GluA and GluB, and subfamily genes, namely, pro14, BiP1, and PDIL1, which co-induced the changes of storage protein synthesis in rice grains. Furthermore, the increased temperature changed the balance of grain storage substances which may lead to the significantly increased chalky rate (197.67%) and chalkiness (532.92%). Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation between prolamin content and chalkiness, indicating that nitrogen fertilizer might regulate the formation of chalkiness by affecting the synthesis of prolamin. Results suggested that nitrogen application could regulate the related core factors involved in nitrogen metabolism pathways, which, in turn, affects the changes in the storage protein components in the grain and further affects quality. Therefore, as a conventional cultivation measure, nitrogen application would have a certain value in future rice production in response to climate warming.

AbstractComposition and accumulation patterns of storage proteins in female gametophyte and embryos of the white fir (Abies concolor) were investigated during embryogenesis and germination of mature seeds using SDS-PAGE and immunological approach. Altogether 9 major and minor protein components with molecular masses of 14, 16, 22, 24, 27, 30, 35, 38, and 43 kDa were detected in female gametophytes and 9 protein bands in the embryos with the molecular sizes of 14, 16, 22, 24, 25, 27, 34, 38, and 43 kDa. The species seems to deviate in this respect from other representatives of Pinaceae. A conspicuous increase of storage protein synthesis was observed at the stage of fully cellularized female gametophytes and at the cotyledonary stage of embryo development. There exists a high degree of similarity between storage protein profiles of white fir zygotic and somatic embryos. Successive stages of somatic embryogenesis exhibited a high degree of similarity of storage proteins except for cotyledonary stage when a noticeable increase in storage protein synthesis was registered. Conversely, during germination of somatic embryos, an overwhelming majority of storage proteins was depleted.

SUMMARYNitrogen fertilizer requirements and potential forage yield of maize and two millet types grown under irrigation in Saudi Arabia were assessed. Nitrogen application at 50 kg/ha produced mean yields of up to 15.7 t/ha in maize variety Pioneer H.3147. Splitting the nitrogen application did not significantly affect yield. Nitrogen above 100 kg/ha did not significantly increase DM yield of Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum). Mean total DM yields of 17.6 t/ha of Setaria italica were produced, after 111 days, with 150–200 kg/ha of nitrogen; 150 kg/ha of P2O5 produced a mean DM yield 7.9% higher than 75 kg P2O5/ha.
