Partial replacement of nitrate by ammonium increases photosynthesis and reduces oxidative stress in tanzania guinea grass exposed to cadmium.

Abstract:

:In order to grow and effectively uptake and accumulate cadmium (Cd), plants used for phytoextraction have to cope with toxicity, which may be influenced by the supply of nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+). Thus, we evaluated the effect of these nitrogen forms on the photosynthetic and antioxidant enzyme activities of Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania (tanzania guinea grass) under Cd stress. Plants were grown in nutrient solution under greenhouse conditions and subjected to a 3 × 3 factorial experiment. They were supplied with three NO3-/NH4+ ratios (100/0, 70/30 and 50/50) and exposed to three Cd rates (0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 mmol L-1), being arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Gas exchange parameters, oxidative stress indicators, proline concentration and antioxidant enzyme activities were studied. Exposure to Cd reduced photosynthesis by causing stomatal closure and impairing electron transport. However, the simultaneous supply of NO3- and NH4+, particularly at a 50/50 ratio, restored gas exchange and improved the function of photosystem II, increasing the photosynthetic capacity of the grass. Plants grown with 50/50 showed reduced lipid peroxidation along with increased proline synthesis. Moreover, this NO3-/NH4+ ratio increased the tolerance of tanzania guinea grass to Cd by inducing high superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase activities in shoots and roots, respectively, maintaining cellular homeostasis and reducing oxidative stress. The negative effects of Cd on photosynthesis and on the balance between oxidants and antioxidants are attenuated by the partial replacement of NO3- by NH4+ in the nutrient solution.
