Nitrogen (N) is a macro-nutrient that is essential for growth development and resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses of plants. Nitrogen is a constituent of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, and various primary and secondary metabolites. The atmosphere contains huge amounts of nitrogen but it cannot be taken up directly by plants. Plants can take up nitrogen in the form of nitrate, ammonium, urea, nitrite, or a combination of all these forms. In addition, in various leguminous rhizobia, bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia and supply it to the plants. The form of nitrogen nutrition is also important in plant growth and resistance against pathogens. Nitrogen content has an important function in crop yield. Nitrogen deficiency can cause reduced root growth, change in root architecture, reduced plant biomass, and reduced photosynthesis. Hence, understanding the function and regulation of N metabolism is important. Several enzymes and intermediates are involved in nitrogen assimilation. Here we provide an overview of the important enzymes such as nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, glutamine synthase, GOGAT, glutamate dehydrogenase, and alanine aminotransferase that are involved in nitrogen metabolism.
