Abstract/Contents: | "Several studies have previously shown that shoot removal of forage species, either by cutting or herbivore grazing, results in a large decline in N uptake (60%) and/or N₂ fixation (80%). The source of N used for initial shoot growth following defoliation relies mainly on mobilisation of N reserves from tissues remaining after defoliation. To date, most studies investigating N-mobilisation have been conducted, with isolated plants grown in controlled conditions. The objectives of this study were for Lolium perenne L., grown in a dense canopy in field conditions, to determine: 1) the contribution of N-mobilisation, NH⁺₄ uptake and NO⁻₃ uptake to growing shoots after defoliation, and 2) the contribution of the high (HATS) and low (LATS) affinity transport systems to the total plant uptake of NH⁺₄ and NO⁻₃. During the first seven days following defoliation, decreases in biomass and N-content of roots (34% and 47%, respectively) and to a lesser extent stubble (18% and 43%, respectively) were observed, concomitant with mobilisation of N to shoots. The proportion and origin of N used by shoots (derived from reserves or uptake) was similar to data reported for isolated plants. Both HATS and LATS contributed to the total root uptake of NH⁺₄ and NO⁻₃. The V^D[mₐₓ of both the NH⁺₄ and the NO⁻₃ HATS increased as a function of time after defoliation, and both HATS systems were saturated by substrate concentrations in the soil at all times. The capacity of the LATS was reduced as soil NO⁻₋3 and NH⁺₄ concentrations decreased following defoliation. Data from ¹⁵N uptake by field-grown plants, and uptake rates of NH⁺₄ and NO⁻₃ estimated by excised root bioassays, were significantly correlated, though uptake was over-estimated by the later method. The results are discussed in terms of putative mechanisms for regulating N uptake following severe defoliation." |
