Abstract

SUMMARY In wheat plants it was found that salinity stress (50 mM NaCl) and an increase in the exogenous Ca 2+ supply (to 5 mM) had a differential influence on N uptake capacity depending on the N source (NO 3− or NH 4+ ). In NO 3 − supplied wheat plants which had not been supplied with supplemental calcium, a salinity of 50 mM NaCl reduced the N uptake rate of the root by 30 %, reduced the F max of NO 3 − uptake by 38 % and the N concentration of the plants by 35 %. In NH 4 + supplied plants (which were not affected by a change in calcium concentration) a salinity of 50 mM resulted in a reduction in the N concentration by 16 % (only in the root), a reduction in the F max of NH 4 + uptake by 50 %, while the N uptake rate by the plant was reduced by 16 %. In salt‐stressed NO 3 − supplied wheat, an exogenous Ca 24 concentration of 5 mM resulted in a 65 % increase in V max of NO 3 − uptake, a 58% increase in NO 3 − uptake rate by the shoot per g root and a 61 and 5 % increase in shoot and root N concentration respectively. Increased exogenous concentrations of either Ca 2+ or K + had no effect on NH 4 + uptake. Kinetic calculations indicate that the inhibitory activity of NaCl on both NO 3 − and NH 4 + uptake was one of noncompetitive inhibition. When NO 3 − , but not NH 4 + , was the N source, Ca 2+ at a concentration of 5 mM partially ameliorated the NaCl‐mediated inhibition of NO 3 − uptake.
