Effects of low N condition on activities of enzymes involved in nitrogen assimilation in a newly formed hexaploid (neo-6×), its diploid (2×) and tetraploid (4×) parents, and natural allohexaploid (nat-6×). The enzymes in the fresh mature leaves at the same leaf position for each wheat line were assayed. Ten mature leaves from five individual plants for each wheat line was pooled as a biological replicate. The values are means of four biological replicates. Asterisks indicated significant difference (t test, P < 0.05) between control and low N-stressed plants for a given genotype. The means of any two of all four lines at the same N condition were compared using t test (P < 0.05), and means followed by different letters at the same N condition are significant. The seedlings were subjected to low N condition (0.1 mM) for 7 days. NR, nitrate reductase; GS, glutamine synthetase; GDH, glutamate dehydrogenase; and GO, Glycolate oxidase
