| Abstract | The ability to suppress soil nitrification through the release of nitrification inhibitors from plant roots is termed ‘biological nitrification inhibition’ (BNI). Earlier, we reported that sorghum roots release higher BNI-activity when grown with NH 4 + , but not with NO 3 - as N source. Also for BNI release, rhizosphere pH of <5.0 is needed; beyond this, a negative effect on BNI release was observed with nearly 80% loss of BNI activity at pH >7.0. This study is aimed at understanding the inter-functional relationships associated with NH 4 + uptake, rhizosphere-pH and plasma membrane H$^{+}$-ATPase (PM H$^{+}$-ATPase) activity in regulating the release of BNIs (biological nitrification inhibitors) from sorghum roots.Sorghum was grown hydroponically and root exudates were collected from intact plants using a pH-stat system to separate the secondary acidification effects by NH 4 + uptake on BNIs release. A recombinant luminescent Nitrosomonas europaea bioassay was used to determine BNI-activity. Root plasma membrane was isolated using a two-phase partitioning system. Hydrolytic H$^{+}$-ATPase activity was determined. Split-root system setup was deployed to understand the localized responses to NH 4 + , H$^{+}$-ATPase-stimulator (fusicoccin) or H$^{+}$-ATPase-inhibitor (vanadates) on BNI release by sorghum.Presence of NH 4 + in the rhizosphere stimulated the expression of H$^{+}$-ATPase activity and enhanced the release of BNIs from sorghum roots. Fusicoccin, which stimulates H$^{+}$-ATPase activity, also stimulated BNIs release in the absence of NH 4 + ; vanadate, which suppresses H$^{+}$-ATPase activity, also suppressed the release of BNIs. NH 4 + levels (in rhizosphere) positively influenced BNIs release and root H$^{+}$-ATPase activity in the concentration range of 0-1.0 mM, indicating a close relationship between BNI release and root H$^{+}$-ATPase activity with a possible involvement of carrier-mediated transport for the release of BNIs in sorghum.Our results suggest that NH 4 + uptake, PM H$^{+}$-ATPase activity, and rhizosphere acidification are functionally inter-connected with BNI release in sorghum. Such knowledge is critical to gain insights into why BNI function is more effective in light-textured, mildly acidic soils compared to other soil types. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
