ABSTRACT
The Transporter 1/Peptide Transporter Family (NPF) is essential for the uptake and transport of nitrate nitrogen. Significant increases in nitrogen have been increasingly reported for many mycorrhizal plants, but there are few reports on maize. Here, we have identified the maize NPF family and screened for arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) induced NPFs. In this study, a systematic analysis of the maize NPF gene family was performed. A total of 82 NPF genes were identified in maize. ZmNPF4.5 was strongly induced by AMF in both low and high nitrogen. Lotus japonicus hairy root-induced transformation experiments showed that ZmNPF4.5 promoter-driven GUS activity was restricted to cells containing tufts. Yeast backfill experiments indicate that ZmNPF4.5 functions in nitrate uptake. Therefore, we speculate that ZmNPF4.5 is a key gene for nitrate-nitrogen uptake in maize through the mycorrhizal pathway. This is a reference value for further exploring the acquisition of nitrate-nitrogen by maize through AMF pathway.
