This review explores nitrogen’s regulatory role in plant responses to these challenges, unveiling a dynamic interplay between nitrogen availability and abiotic stress. In the context of soil salinity, a nuanced relationship emerges, featuring both antagonistic and synergistic interactions between salinity and nitrogen levels. Salinity-induced chlorophyll depletion in plants can be alleviated by optimal nitrogen supplementation; however, excessive nitrogen can exacerbate salinity stress. We delve into the complexities of this interaction and its agricultural implications. Nitrogen, a vital element within essential plant structures like chloroplasts, elicits diverse responses based on its availability. This review comprehensively examines manifestations of nitrogen deficiency and toxicity across various crop types, including cereals, vegetables, legumes, and fruits. Furthermore, we explore the broader consequences of nitrogen products, such as N<sub>2</sub>O, NO<sub>2</sub>, and ammonia, on human health. Understanding the intricate relationship between nitrogen and salinity, especially chloride accumulation in nitrate-fed plants and sodium buildup in ammonium-fed plants, is pivotal for optimizing crop nitrogen management. However, prudent nitrogen use is essential, as overapplication can exacerbate nitrogen-related issues. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) is of paramount importance in addressing salinity challenges and enhancing sustainable crop productivity. Achieving this goal requires advancements in crop varieties with efficient nitrogen utilization, precise timing and placement of nitrogen fertilizer application, and thoughtful nitrogen source selection to mitigate losses, particularly urea-based fertilizer volatilization. This review article delves into the multifaceted world of plant nitrogen metabolism and its pivotal role in enabling plant resilience to nutritional stress and abiotic challenges. It offers insights into future directions for sustainable agriculture.","PeriodicalId":54605,"journal":{"name":"Phyton-Annales Rei Botanicae","volume":"93 3","pages":"581-609"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://file.techscience.com/files/phyton/2024/TSP_Phyton-93-3/Phyton-93-03-46857/Phyton-93-46857.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147880296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DWF4 gene encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP90B1), which is considered a rate-limiting enzyme in BR biosynthesis. Here, we identi fi ed a homologous gene of DWF4 in chrysanthemum, CmDWF4 . This gene was predicted to encode 491 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 56.2 kDa and an isoelectric point (pI) of 9.10. Overexpression of CmDWF4 in chrysanthemum was found to signi fi cantly increase growth rate, number, and length of lateral buds. Transcriptome analysis showed that multiple xyloglucan endotransglycosy-lase/hydrolase (XTH) family encoding genes associated with cell wall modi fi cation were up-regulated in CmDWF4 -overexpressing lines. qRT-PCR assay con fi rmed the up-regulation of CmXTH6 , CmXTH23 , and CmXTH28 in CmDWF4 -overexpression line.
