The response of rice to nitrogen (N) was compared between three rice cultivars and three N treatments: 1:0, 0:1, and 1:1 NH₄ ⁺:NO₃ ⁻. The three rice cultivars used were: Shennong1401 (SN1401, erect panicle rice cultivar) and Habataki and Sasanishiki (curved panicle rice cultivars). At the booting stage, higher gene expression and enzyme activity associated with N metabolism of rice in the including-NO₃ ⁻ solutions effected the secondary assimilation of N metabolism, and ultimately increased grain development. During the tillering stage, lower NO₃ ⁻ uptake rates and glutamine synthetase and NADH-dependent glutamate synthase activity in Habataki and Sasanishiki under the NO₃ ⁻ treatments resulted in lower effective panicle number per plant. However, no significant differences were observed in the grain yield per plant of SN1401 between NH₄ ⁺ and NO₃ ⁻ treatments. Our results indicate that the erect panicle rice cultivar can grow better under the including-NO₃ ⁻ treatment.
