Evidence for biological nitrification inhibition in Brachiaria pastures. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2009 Nitrification, a key process in the global nitrogen cycle that generates nitrate through microbial activity, may enhance losses of fertilizer nitrogen by leaching and denitrification. Certain plants can suppress soil-nitrification by releasing inhibitors from roots, a phenomenon termed biological nitrification inhibition (BNI ...

Biological nitrification inhibition by rice root exudates in two different soils of Uruguay [PDF]
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2021 Rice root exudates can control nitrification by releasing biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs), reducing nitrogen losses in agricultural soils. However, the inhibitory effect on nitrification and the abundance of ammonia oxidisers in different soil

Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)—is it a widespread phenomenon?
Plant and Soil, 2006 Regulating nitrification could be a key strategy in improving nitrogen (N) recovery and agronomic N-use efficiency in situations where the loss of N following nitrification is significant. A highly sensitive bioassay using recombinant luminescent Nitrosomonas europaea, has been developed that can detect and quantify the amount of nitrification ...

Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) activity in sorghum and its characterization [PDF]
Plant and Soil, 2012 The ability to suppress soil nitrification through the release of nitrification inhibitors from plant roots is termed ‘biological nitrification inhibition’ (BNI). Here, we aimed at the quantification and characterization of the BNI function in sorghum that includes inhibitor production, their chemical identity, functionality and factors regulating ...

Discovery of Coracanols A and B, Two Biological Nitrification Inhibition Diterpenoids from Finger Millet. [PDF]
Org LettNatural products with biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) activity released from plant roots show potential for increasing the nitrogen-use efficiency and decreasing the extent of environmental pollution. We isolated two diterpenoids, coracanols A (1) and B (2), from finger millet grown under low-nitrogen conditions.

Low 15N Natural Abundance in Shoot Tissue of Brachiaria humidicola Is an Indicator of Reduced N Losses Due to Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI) [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The tropical forage grass Brachiaria humidicola (Bh) suppresses the activity of soil nitrifiers through biological nitrification inhibition (BNI). As a result, nitrate (NO3−) formation and leaching are reduced which is also expected to tighten the soil ...

Biological nitrification inhibition by rice root exudates and its relationship with nitrogen‐use efficiency [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2016 Summary Microbial nitrification in soils is a major contributor to nitrogen (N) loss in agricultural systems. Some plants can secrete organic substances that act as biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs), and a small number of BNIs have been identified and characterized. However, virtually no research has focused on the important food crop, rice (

Genetic mitigation strategies to tackle agricultural GHG emissions: The case for biological nitrification inhibition technology [PDF]
Plant Science, 2017 Accelerated soil-nitrifier activity and rapid nitrification are the cause of declining nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) and enhanced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from farming. Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is the ability of certain plant roots to suppress soil-nitrifier activity, through production and release of nitrification inhibitors. The
