Arsenic is a serious soil pollutant with toxic effects on biological systems. Elevated soil concentrations may negatively affect crop production and food safety. The impact of arsenic on plants depends on many factors, including nitrogen availability. Nitrogen (N) as an essential mineral affects overall energetics of plants, while its non-optimal doses have been shown to also impact plant performance and yield, as well as tolerance to environmental constraints. The combined effects of these two factors, however, have been rarely studied. Here we investigated the impact of sublethal doses of As³⁺ (5 mM) on wheat plants grown in hydropony, applying a set of 8 different N concentrations spanning from starvation (0 mM N in the media) through optimum (7.5 mM N) to excessive amounts (up to 35 mM N). The results showed that the content of photosynthetic pigments varies depending on N concentration and As³⁺ presence. The different energetic status of plants also affected the final As uptake. Establishing nutrition conditions might be important for limiting metal(loid) uptake from soil in contaminated areas.
