Proper carbon (C) supply is essential for nitrogen (N) assimilation especially when plants are grown under ammonium (NH 4  + ) nutrition. However, how C and N metabolic fluxes adapt to achieve so remains uncertain. In this work, roots of wheat ( Triticum aestivum  L.) plants grown under exclusive NH 4  +  or nitrate (NO 3  − ) supply were incubated with isotope-labelled substrates ( 15 NH 4  + ,  15 NO 3  − , or [ 13 C]Pyruvate) to follow the incorporation of  15 N or  13 C into amino acids and organic acids. Roots of plants adapted to ammonium nutrition presented higher capacity to incorporate both  15 NH 4  +  and  15 NO 3  −  into amino acids, thanks to the previous induction of the NH 4  +  assimilative machinery. The  15 N label was firstly incorporated into [ 15 N]Gln vía glutamine synthetase; ultimately leading to [ 15 N]Asn accumulation as an optimal NH 4  +  storage. The provision of [ 13 C]Pyruvate led to [ 13 C]Citrate and [ 13 C]Malate accumulation and to rapid [ 13 C]2-OG consumption for amino acid synthesis and highlighted the importance of the anaplerotic routes associated to tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Taken together, our results indicate that root adaptation to ammonium nutrition allowed efficient assimilation of N thanks to the promotion of TCA cycle open flux modes in order to sustain C skeleton availability for effective NH 4  +  detoxification into amino acids.

Isotopic labelling reveals the efficient adaptation of wheat root TCA cycle flux modes to match carbon demand under ammonium nutrition
