To screen the desired criterion to identify desirable genotypes and select genotypes best suited to limited nitrogen availability in order to facilitate the practice of low-nitrogen-tolerant breeding in maize, the response of 31 maize inbred lines, containing four control inbred lines (PH6WC, PH4CV, Zheng58, and Chang7-2) and others selected from the Shaan A and Shaan B heterotic groups cultivated at Northwest A&F University (Yangling, Shaanxi, China), were evaluated. The experiment was conducted following a split plot design with two replications during three growing seasons (2015, 2016, and 2017) under both high nitrogen (HN) and low nitrogen (LN) conditions at the Yulin and Yangling in Shaanxi Province, China. Seven screening indices, based on grain yield under two contrasting nitrogen (N) conditions, the stress susceptibility index (SSI), yield stability index (YSI), mean productivity (MP), geometric mean productivity (GMP), stress tolerance index (STI), harmonic mean (HM), and low nitrogen tolerance index (LNTI), were computed to assess the overall index that accurately screened the desirable genotypes. The results of the correlation analyses and principal component analysis showed that MP, GMP, HM and STI were correlated with grain yield significantly and positively under contrasting N conditions, and were able to accurately discriminate the desirable genotypes. Compared with the control inbred lines, many inbred lines selected from the Shaan A and Shaan B groups showed a higher LN tolerance. This shows that we can effectively improve the LN tolerance of maize inbred lines through LN screening. Based on the screening indices, the three-dimensional diagram and genotype and genotype × environment (GGE) biplots are agreed with this results, and we identified KA105, KB081, KA225, 91227, and 2013KB-47 as the desired genotypes that have the potential to be used to breed a high yield and stable hybrid.

The excess use of nitrogen fertilizers causes many problems, including higher costs of crop production, lower nitrogen use efficiency, and environmental damage. Crop breeding for low-nitrogen tolerance, especially molecular breeding, has become the major route to solving these issues. Therefore, in crops such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), it is crucial to understand the mechanisms of low-nitrogen tolerance at the molecule level. In the present study, two barley cultivars, BI-04 (tolerant to low nitrogen) and BI-45 (sensitive to low nitrogen), were used for gene expression analysis under low-nitrogen stress, including 10 genes related to primary nitrogen metabolism. The results showed that the expressions of HvNIA2 (nitrite reductase), HvGS2 (chloroplastic glutamine synthetase), and HvGLU2 (ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase) were only induced in shoots of BI-04 under low-nitrogen stress, HvGLU2 was also only induced in roots of BI-04, and HvGS2 showed a rapid response to low-nitrogen stress in the roots of BI-04. The expression of HvASN1 (asparagine synthetase) was reduced in both cultivars, but it showed a lower reduction in the shoots of BI-04. In addition, gene expression and regulation differences in the shoots and roots were also compared between the barley cultivars. Taken together, the results indicated that the four above-mentioned genes might play important roles in low-nitrogen tolerance in barley.
