Seeds of WT, OX and osasn1 plants were germinated and seedlings were cultured for 7 d in Yoshida nutrient solution (Yoshida et al. 1976) , in which 1.44 mM NH4NO3 was replaced by 2.88 mM NH4Cl. Next, seedlings were treated with 15N-labeled NH4Cl (10% atom 15NH4Cl; Sigma-Aldrich). Roots and shoots were harvested at 12, 24, 36 and 48 h after treatment and dried at 70°C. The dried samples were weighed and ground, and 15N abundance was estimated as described previously (Masclaux-Daubresse and Chardon 2011) (link).
