Seed biostimulant Bacillus sp. MGW9 improves the salt tolerance of maize during seed germination

AMB Express, 2021
Crop performance is seriously affected by high salt concentrations in soils. To develop improved seed pre-sowing treatment technologies, it is crucial to improve the salt tolerance of seed germination. Here, we isolated and identified the strain Bacillus

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Nordic microalgae produce biostimulant for the germination of tomato and barley seeds

Scientific Reports, 2023
Microalgal biomass may have biostimulating effects on plants and seeds due to its phytohormonal content, and harnessing this biostimulating effect could contribute to sustainable agriculture.

Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Foliar application of algal biostimulant improves the quality of peach fruits

European Journal of Horticultural Science
To improve the quality of peach fruits, foliar sprays of algal biostimulant at different concentrations (600-, 900-, 1200- and 1500-fold dilutions) were applied to peach trees, aiming to investigate the effects of the biostimulant on peach fruit quality.

Key metabolites secreted by Chlorella vulgaris alleviate salt stress in soybean seedlings

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Chlorella vulgaris secretes exosome‐derived linolenic acid and inosine, which alleviate salt stress and enhance salt tolerance in soybean seedlings by activating stress‐responsive signaling networks. ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a major abiotic stress factor that reduces soybean production.
