Identification of genes commonly induced by glutamine, glutamate, and ammonium nitrate in rice roots. (A) Venn diagram showing the number of differentially expressed genes for treatments with glutamine35, glutamate36, and ammonium nitrate (this study). (B) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of NAC5, MYB, LBD37, BBTI, KCS11, TAXI-I, and an unknown gene. Seventeen-day-old nitrogen-starved rice seedlings were transferred to hydroponic solution containing 2.5 mM glutamine, glutamate, or 1.43 mM ammonium nitrate for 0–24 h35,36. Total RNA extracted from roots was used for qRT-PCR analysis. Relative expression indicates the fold-change of each gene as compared to that of control. Results are shown as means ± SD from three biological repeats.
