چکیده انگلیسی


• Overexpression studies using GS1 to increase plant nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) have not yielded consistent results.
• Complex regulation of GS1 at gene and protein levels complicates efforts to improve plant NUE use efficiency by GS1 overexpression.
• We suggest future strategies for the use of GS1 to increase NUE.

Overexpression of the cytosolic enzyme glutamine synthetase 1 (GS1) has been investigated in numerous cases with the goal of improving crop nitrogen use efficiency. However, the outcome has generally been inconsistent. Here, we review possible reasons underlying the lack of success and conclude that GS1 activity may be downregulated via a chain of processes elicited by metabolic imbalances and environmental constraints. We suggest that a pivotal role of GS1 may be related to the maintenance of essential nitrogen (N) flows and internal N sensing during critical stages of plant development. A number of more refined overexpression strategies exploiting gene stacking combined with tissue and cell specific targeting to overcome metabolic bottlenecks are considered along with their potential in relation to new N management strategies.
