Agricultural Management Affects the Active Rhizosphere Bacterial Community Composition and Nitrification [PDF]
mSystems, 2021 Cropping system diversity provides yield benefits that may result from shifts in the composition of root-associated bacterial and fungal communities, which either enhance nutrient availability or limit nutrient loss.

Agricultural management and plant selection interactively affect rhizosphere microbial community structure and nitrogen cycling. [PDF]
Microbiome, 2019 Rhizosphere microbial communities are key regulators of plant performance, yet few studies have assessed the impact of different management approaches on the rhizosphere microbiomes of major crops.

Soil Microbiomes in Apple Orchards Are Influenced by the Type of Agricultural Management but Never Match the Complexity and Connectivity of a Semi-natural Benchmark [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Conversion of natural ecosystems into agricultural land may strongly affect the soil microbiome and the functioning of the soil ecosystem. Alternative farming systems, such as organic farming, have therefore been advocated to reduce this impact, yet the ...

Effects of Agricultural Management on Rhizosphere Microbial Structure and Function in Processing Tomato Plants. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2019 Agriculture relies, in part, on close linkages between plants and the microorganisms that live in association with plant roots. These rhizosphere bacteria and fungi are distinct from microbial communities found in the rest of the soil and are even more ...

Effects of agricultural management on phyllosphere fungal diversity in vineyards and the association with adjacent native forests. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Agriculture is one of the main drivers of land conversion, and agriculture practices can impact on microbial diversity. Here we characterized the phyllosphere fungal diversity associated with Carménère grapevines under conventional and organic ...

Phytomelatonin in stress management in agriculture [PDF]
Heliyon, 2021 Melatonin was discovered as a pineal gland hormone in animals and is now more significantly known as a signaling molecule in plants' biotic and abiotic stressors. Melatonin has been traced back to prokaryotic organisms during evolution and its primary function of antioxidant scavenging free radicals in photosynthetic prokaryotic bacteria is a lesser ...
