Abstract

Abstract The accumulation of the β-subunit of β-conglycinin, a major soybean storage protein, in seeds is controlled by the nitrogen (N) status of the plant. When non-nodulating soybean mutants (T201) were hydroponically cultivated under N-sufficient conditions (supply of 5 mM NaN03 to the medium), β-subunit accumulation was first detected at 30 d after flowering (DAF). In N-deficient plants (supply of 1 mM NaNO3), the accumulation of the β-subunit was stronglyinhibited. When 5 mM 15N-labeled NO3 - was supplied for 1 week to N-deficient T201 plants before 28 DAF, the β-subunit protein did not accumulate, but the application of 5 mM NO3 - after 28 DAF, led to a substantial accumulation of the β-subunit. The total 15N percentage in mature seeds was similar, irrespective of the time of feeding, regardless of the accumulation of the β-subunit. The 7 S (mostly composed of β-conglycinin) and 11 S globulins (mostly glycinin, which was another major component of storage protein) contained N from 5 mM 15NO3 - at a similar level, about 60% of total N. These results indicate that a) the temporary supply of a high level of NO3 - effectively promoted β-subunit accumulation in N-deficient plants when feeding was carried out after 28 DAF, and b) incorporation of fed NO3 - was similar between 7 Sand 11 S globulins.
