The gas phase of the soil plays an important role in plant growth and development. We investigated the effect of rhizospheric NO as a signalling compound for N uptake of beech roots. Following exposure to NO, ammonium and glutamine uptake into roots were determined using 15N-labelling, and gene expression of selected transporters was analysed by quantitative real-time PCR. Uptake of both N sources increased significantly with elevated NO concentration. However, with one exception, this increase was not reflected in up-regulation of expression of the respective transporters. © 2009 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
