Nitrate, the primary form of nitrogen absorbed by plants, supplies essential compounds for plant growth and development. Peas are frequently used as rotation crops to improve and stabilize soil fertility. However, the determinants of nitrate uptake and transport in peas remain largely unclear, primarily due to the pea genome's complexity and size. In this study, we utilized the complete genomic information of peas to identify three PsNRT2 family genes within the pea genome. We conducted a comprehensive examination of their protein conserved domains, physicochemical properties, gene structure, and phylogenetic evolution, revealing PsNRT2.3 as the potential key gene for high-affinity nitrate transport in peas. Subcellular localization studies indicated that PsNRT2.3 resides on the plasma membrane. Using hairy root transformation, we noted the predominant expression of PsNRT2.3 in the root stele, which is inducible by nitrate. Our experiments involving overexpression and silencing methods further confirmed that PsNRT2.3 plays a key role in enhancing nitrate uptake in peas. Additionally, our work showed that PsNAR could interact with PsNRT2.3, modulating pea nitrate uptake. After silencing PsNAR, even with the normal expression of PsNRT2.3, the ability of peas to absorb nitrate was significantly reduced. In conclusion, this study identifies the high-affinity nitrate transport gene PsNRT2.3 in peas and clarifies its critical role and regulatory network in nitrate transport, contributing to a new understanding of nitrate utilization in peas |
