Nitrogen is one of the essential nutrient elements for plant growth,which plays an important role in the growth and development of sugarcane. The whole growth cycle of sugarcane needs a large amount of nitrogen. Increasing the application of nitrogen can improve the yield of sugarcane,but it will also cause environmental pollution. Therefore,how to control or reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer while continuously increasing sugarcane yield,reduce the increase of sugarcane production cost and environmental pollution caused by excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer has become an important scientific problem faced by sugarcane industry in China.^15N stable isotope labeling technology has been applied to many crops as a nitrogen research tool. In order to better understand the demand of nitrogen fertilizer in soil-cane system,this paper reviewed nitrogen allocation in plants,nitrogen loss,nitrogen recycling and endogenous nitrogen fixation of sugarcane based on^15N stable isotope labeling technology used in the nitrogen uptake and utilization,providing a theoretical basis for the improvement of sugarcane nitrogen use efficiency and the efficient nitrogen fertilizer management of sugarcane.

夏季休闲是黄土高原旱地小麦常见的蓄纳雨水、恢复地力的措施。随着氮肥用量的增加,一季小麦收获后,旱地土壤剖面累积的硝态氮量不断增加,休闲期间降雨量高,残留硝态氮的去向是值得研究的问题。利用^(15)N标记法研究小麦收获后残留肥料氮在黄土高原旱地(陕西长武)夏季休闲期间的去向,即小麦收获后在微区土壤表层(0~15 cm)施入^(15)N标记的硝态氮肥(30 kg hm^(-2)(以纯氮计),约相当于当地小麦一季作物收获后土壤残留肥料氮量),休闲结束后,采集0~200 cm土壤样品,测定了土壤全氮、硝态氮含量及其^(15)N丰度。结果表明,小麦收获(即休闲开始)时0~200 cm土壤剖面硝态氮累积量在205~268 kg hm-2之间(平均244 kg hm^(-2)),累积量较高。夏季休闲期间降水量为157 mm,属欠水年,但休闲结束后,^(15)N标记肥料氮向下迁移已达80 cm土层,下移深度在45~65cm之间,说明,旱地休闲期间硝态氮的淋溶作用不可忽视。夏季休闲结束后,加入的^(15)N标记肥料氮平均损失率为28%,损失机理值得进一步研究。
Natural nitrogen isotope composition(δ^(15)N) is an indicator of nitrogen sources and is useful in the investigation of nitrogen cycling in organisms and ecosystems. δ^(15)N is also used to study assimilation of inorganic nitrogen. However, the foliar δ^(15)N of intact plants, which is a consequence of nitrate assimilation occurring in the roots and shoots, is not suited for studying nitrate assimilation in cases where nitrate is the sole nitrogen source. In this study, Orychophragmus violaceus(Ov) and Brassica napus(Bn) plantlets, in which nitrate assimilation occurred in the leaves, were used to study the relationship between foliar δ^(15)N and nitrate assimilation.The plantlets were grown in vitro in culture media with different nitrate concentrations, and no root formation occurred for the plantlets during the multiplication stage.Nitrogen isotope fractionation occurred in both the Ov and the Bn plantlets under all treatments. Furthermore, the foliar nitrogen content of both the Ov and Bn plantlets increased with increasing nitrate concentration. Foliar nitrogen isotope fractionation was negatively correlated with foliar nitrogen content for both the Ov and Bn plantlets. Our results suggest that the foliar nitrogen isotope fractionation value could be employed to evaluate nitrate assimilation ability and leaf nitrate reductase activity.Moreover, high external nitrate concentrations couldcontribute to improved foliar nitrogen content and enhanced nitrate assimilation ability.
Rational application of different forms of nitrogen（N） fertilizer for peanut（Arachis hypogaea L.） requires tracking the N supplied sources which are commonly not available in the differences among the three sources：root nodule,soil and fertilizer.In this study,two kinds of peanut plants（nodulated variety（Huayu 22） and non-nodulated variety（NN-1）） were choosed and four kinds of N fertilizers：urea-N（CONH_2-N）,ammonium-N（NH_4~＋-N）,nitrate-N（NO_3^--N） and NH_4~＋ ＋NO_3^--N labeled by^（15）N isotope were applied in the field barrel experiment in Chengyang Experimental Station,Shandong Province,China,to determine the N supplied sources and N use efficiency over peanut growing stages.The results showed that intensities and amounts of N supply from the three sources were all higher at middle growing stages（pegging phase and podding phase）.The accumulated amounts of N supply from root nodule,soil and fertilizer over the growing stages were 8.3,5.3 and 3.8g m^（-2） in CONH_2-N treatment,which are all significantly higher than in the other three treatments.At seedling phase,soil supplied the most N for peanut growth,then root nodule controlled the N supply at pegging phase and podding phase,but soil mainly provided N again at the last stage（pod filling phase）.For the whole growing stages,root nodule supplied the most N（47.8 and 43.0%） in CONH_2-N and NH_4~＋-N treatments,whereas soil supplied the most N（41.7 and 40.9%） inNH_4~＋ ＋NO_3^--N and NO_3^--N treatments.The N use efficiency was higher at pegging phase and podding phase,while accumulated N use efficiency over the growing stages was higher in CONH_2-N treatment（42.2%） than in other three treatments（30.4%inNH_4~＋-N treatment,29.4%inNO_3^--N treatment,29.4%inNH_4~＋ ＋NO_3^--N treatment）.In peanut growing field,application of CONH_2-N is a better way to increase the supply of N from root nodule and improve the N use efficiency.
