Superior glucose metabolism supports NH₄⁺ assimilation in wheat to improve ammonium tolerance.

ABSTRACT: The use of slow-release fertilizers and seed-fertilizers cause localized high-ammonium (NH₄ ⁺) environments in agricultural fields, adversely affecting wheat growth and development and delaying its yield. Thus, it is important to investigate the physiological responses of wheat and its tolerance to NH₄ ⁺ stress to improve the adaptation of wheat to high NH₄ ⁺ environments. In this study, the physiological mechanisms of ammonium tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum) were investigated in depth by comparative analysis of two cultivars: NH₄ ⁺-tolerant Xumai25 and NH₄ ⁺-sensitive Yangmai20. Cultivation under hydroponic conditions with high NH₄ ⁺ (5 mM NH
