中文摘要（谷歌機翻）
**鹽是大多數植物的首選氮素形式，既可作為營養物又可作為信號分子。然而，控制面包小麥（世界上最重要的農作物之一）中**鹽吸收的成分和調控因素仍不清楚，這主要是由于其六倍體基因組的復雜性。
在此，根據最近發布的面包小麥全基因組信息，對高親和力**鹽轉運蛋白2（NRT2）和**鹽同化相關（NAR）基因家族進行了表征。我們表明，**鹽撤除后，**鹽再供應會刺激面包小麥根中的ABA-GE解偶聯，從而導致根組織ABA積累增強，而這種增強反過來又會影響根型NRT2 / NAR基因的表達。顯示TaANR1通過直接激活TaBG1來調節**鹽介導的ABA積累，而TaWabi5參與ABA介導的NRT2 / NAR基因的NO3-誘導。
基于先前的證據，證明ABA參與了對高**鹽脅迫的發育反應，我們的研究表明ABA還通過調節有限的**鹽供應下的NRT2 / NAR基因的表達來促進**鹽吸收的優化，為改良提供了新的目標作物中**鹽的吸收。
不同處理下，小麥根系分生區、伸長區、成熟區NO3-流對比。
英文摘要
Nitrate is the preferred form of nitrogen for most plants, acting both as a nutrient and a signaling molecule. However, the components and regulatory factors governing nitrate uptake in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), one of the world's most important crop species, have remained unclear, largely due to the complexity of its hexaploid genome.
Here, based on recently released whole-genome information for bread wheat, the high-affinity nitrate transporter 2 (NRT2) and the nitrate-assimilation-related (NAR) gene family are characterized. We show that ABA-GE deconjugation is stimulated in bread wheat roots by nitrate resupply following nitrate withdrawal, leading to enhanced root-tissue ABA accumulation, and that this enhancement, in turn, affects the expression of root-type NRT2/NAR genes. TaANR1 is shown to regulate nitrate-mediated ABA accumulation by directly activating TaBG1, while TaWabi5 is involved in ABA-mediated NO3- induction of NRT2/NAR genes.
Building on previous evidence establishing ABA involvement in the developmental response to high-nitrate stress, our study suggests that ABA also contributes to the optimisation of nitrate uptake by regulating the expression of NRT2/NAR genes under limited nitrate supply, offering a new target for improvement of nitrate absorption in crops.
