Abstract

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is a key enzyme in nitrogen (N) metabolism of wheat under stress conditions. There are two views about the reaction catalyzed by GDH in plants, namely aminating and deaminating activity, so the specific function of GDH remains to be clarified. In order to clarify the specific role of GDH in wheat grain and further study the changes of GDH expression and activity under wheat powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, Bgt) stress, field experiments were carried out with susceptible cultivar Xi’nong 979 and resistant cultivar Zhengmai 103 under three treatments. The three treatments were no inoculation (CK), inoculated once with Bgt (MP) and inoculated nine times with Bgt (HP). Results showed that GDH aminating activity was higher than that of deaminating activity in Zhengmai 103 in CK (natural conditions). In the same way, under powdery mildew conditions, there was a similar trend of higher aminating activity than deaminating activity of GDH in Zhengmai 103 at 21 and 28 days after anthesis (DAA) and Xi’nong 979 at 10 – 30 DAA in MP and HP. The results indicated that GDH mainly assimilated ammonia in grains under both natural and powdery mildew stress conditions. Meanwhile, under mild powdery mildew conditions, the GDH expression and GDH aminating activity increased with the increase of disease index (DI) at 21 and 28 DAA in Zhengmai 103 and at 10 – 15 DAA in Xi’nong 979. Under severe powdery mildew conditions, GDH expression and GDH aminating activity of Xi’nong 979 increased with the increase of DI during the period of 20 – 30 DAA. Therefore, both mild and severe powdery mildew stress could induce GDH expression and aminating activity. It showed that the main function of GDH in wheat grain was to assimilate ammonia, and powdery mildew could induce GDH expression and aminating activity.
