In flooded paddy soils, wetland rice (Oryza sativa L.), an important mainstay crop, preferentially takes up ammonium as an abundant inorganic nitrogen source. Glutamine is a product of ammonium assimilation catalyzed by glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase. The growth of paddy rice depends on root ammonium assimilation and subsequent root-to-shoot allocation of glutamine; however, little is known about the mechanism of glutamine storage in roots. The rice amino acid transporter-like 6 (OsATL6) is a member of the ATLa/AVT6 subfamily of plant amino acid transporters whose functions remain unknown. In this study, we revealed the role of OsATL6 in exporting ammonium-derived glutamine from the cytosol into the vacuole for temporary vacuolar storage of excess glutamine, thereby influencing the root-to-shoot allocation of glutamine and the subsequent growth of rice seedlings under ammonium replete conditions. This finding will help to improve nitrogen use efficiency and growth of rice for achieving more productive and sustainable agriculture towards SDGs (Target 2.4).
