| Abstract | In order to investigate the effects of homogeneous and localized supply of different nitrogen forms (nitrate, NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ vs ammonium, NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$) on the growth of tomato seedlings, root morphology and six cytokinin (CTK) fractions in xylem sap were analyzed. Whole roots were supplied with different ratios of NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ to NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ (100:0, as 100-0NA; 75:25, as 75-25NA; 50:50, as 50-50NA) under homogeneous supply. In split-root experiments, three treatments were compared: a sole NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ supply (N|N), a spatially separated supply of NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ and NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ (N|A), and a spatially separated supply of NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ and a mixture of NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ and NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ nutrition at a ratio of 75:25 (N|AN). All concentrations of total N were set at 5 mM. The results showed that (1) homogeneous 75% NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ plus 25% NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ supply to the whole root zone led to maximum shoot and root dry matter (DM), root surface area (RS) and root volume (RV). The spatially separated supply of NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ and NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ (N|A) resulted in a contrasting effect on root morphology: in comparison to N|N, root DM in the NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$-containing pot was increased by 50% whereas it was depressed by 50% in the NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$-containing pot. The 75% NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ plus 25% NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ supply in the split-root experiment led to no significant effects either on shoot DM and root DM, or on RS and RV when compared to N|N. (2) The presence of NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ in the external medium led to a significantly reduced total xylem-CTK concentration, and a close negative correlation was found between xylem NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ and total CTK concentration irrespective of culture mode. A relatively high level of zeatin riboside (ZR) was maintained both in 75-25NA and N|A treatments. It was concluded that, in addition to the percentage of NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ to NO$_{3}$ $^{−}$ in the nutrient solution, whether NH$_{4}$ $^{+}$ was supplied to the whole root system or to only part of the root system was also an important factor affecting plant growth. The fact that the 75-25NA and N|A treatments resulted in optimal growth of tomato seedlings might be attributed to the higher ZR concentration in xylem. |

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.
