Abstract:The experiment was conducted in hydroponics to investigate the difference of three wheat genotypes on nitrogen absorption,accumulation and photosynthesis under three nitrogen forms (NO3-,EAN and NH4+).Nitrogen absorption rate of EAN and NH4+ was significantly higher than that of NO3- in different nitrogen concentrations.Particularly in higher concentration,EAN had much higher absorption potential than NH4+.YM158,as a sensitive genotype to EAN,had higher absorption rate of NO3- and NH4+,and highest of EAN as compared with LZ953 and JDM.EAN highly promoted the absorption of NO3- and NH4+ in YM158 and LZ953,but slightly inhibited that of NO3- in JDM.Compared with NO3- nutrition and NH4+ nutrition,EAN increased nitrogen accumulation in whole plant and aboveground part,and net photosynthetic rate in leaves of YM158 and LZ953,but slightly increased that of JDM.The results indicate that increased growth of wheat under EAN is associated with enhanced nitrogen absorption,increased nitrogen accumulation and net photosynthetic rate.
