NO3
− is not only a nutrient, but also a signaling compound that plays an important role in
several plant processes, like root development. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of
three different exogenous C compounds (sucrose, glucose, 2-oxoglutarate) added to NO3
− nutrition
on C/N, auxin and antioxidant metabolisms in 10-day-old tomato seedlings. Sucrose and glucose
supplementation enhanced primary root (PR) length, lateral root number and root density, while
2-oxoglutarate negatively affected them. This phenomenon was accompanied by a slight increase in
NRT2.1 and GS1 gene expression, together with an increase in LAX2 and LAX3 and a decrease in LAX4
in the roots growing under sucrose and glucose sources. The addition of 2-oxoglutarate enhanced
the expression of NiR, GDH, PEPC1, LAX1, LAX3 and the antioxidant gene SOD Cl. Taken together,
these findings contribute to a better understanding of how these C sources can modulate N uptake
and C/N, auxin and antioxidant gene expression, which could be useful for improving nitrogen
use efficiency [-]
