The mechanisms linking C/N balance to N uptake and assimilation are central to plant responses to changing soil nutrient levels. Defoliation and subsequent regrowth of grasses both impact C partitioning, thereby creating a significant point of interaction with soil N availability. Using defoliation as an experimental treatment, we investigated the dynamic relationships between plant carbohydrate status and NO 3 responsive uptake systems, transporter gene expression, and nitrate assimilation in Lolium perenne L. High-and low-affinity NO 3 uptake was reduced in an N-dependent manner in response to a rapid and large shift in carbohydrate remobilization triggered by defoliation. This reduction in NO 3 uptake was rescued by an exogenous glucose supplement, confirming the carbohydrate dependence of NO 3 uptake. The regulation of NO 3 uptake in response to the perturbation of the plant C/N ratio was associated with changes in expression of putative high- and low-affinity NO 3 transporters. Furthermore, NO 3 assimilation appears to be regulated by the C-N status of the plant, implying a mechanism that signals the availability of C metabolites for NO 3 uptake and assimilation at the whole-plant level. We also show that cytokinins may be involved in the regulation of N acquisition and assimilation in response to the changing plant C/N ratio.
