ABSTRACT
Plant nitrogen (N)-use efficiency (NUE) is largely determined by the ability of root to take up external N sources, whose availability and distribution in turn trigger the modification of root system architecture (RSA) for N foraging. Therefore, improving N-responsive reshaping of RSA for optimal N absorption is a major target for developing crops with high NUE. In this study, we identified RNR10 (REGULATOR OF N-RESPONSIVE RSA ON CHROMOSOME 10) as the causal gene that underlies the significantly different root developmental plasticity in response to changes in N level exhibited by the indica (Xian) and japonica (Geng) subspecies of rice. RNR10 encodes an F-box protein that interacts with a negative regulator of auxin biosynthesis, DNR1 (DULL NITROGEN RESPONSE1). Interestingly, RNR10 monoubiquitinates DNR1 and inhibits its degradation, thus antagonizing auxin accumulation, which results in reduced root responsivity to N and nitrate (NO3-) uptake. Therefore, modulating the RNR10-DNR1-auxin module provides a novel strategy for coordinating a desirable RSA and enhanced N acquisition for future sustainable agriculture.
