Effect of bacterial inoculation, plant genotype and developmental stage on root-associated and endophytic bacterial communities in potato (Solanum tuberosum) [PDF]
Beneficial bacteria interact with plants by colonizing the rhizosphere and roots followed by further spread through the inner tissues, resulting in endophytic colonization.

The Emergence of Endophytic Microbes and Their Biological Promise
Journal of Fungi, 2018 As is true with animal species, plants also have an associated microflora including endophytes as well as microbes associated with the phyllosphere and rhizosphere (plant surfaces) and this is considered the plant microbiome.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Dual mutualistic associations in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Agronomy at Massey University [PDF]
, 1982 Recent studies established that many legumes, when infected with the appropriate Rhizobium spp. and arbuscular fungi, nodulated better and exhibited greater dinitrogen fixation than plants infected with only the rhizobia.

Congolese rhizospheric soils as a rich source of new plant growth-promoting endophytic Piriformospora isolates [PDF]
, 2017 In the last decade, there has been an increasing focus on the implementation of plant growth-promoting (PGP) organisms as a sustainable option to compensate for poor soil fertility conditions in developing countries.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2017 The objective of the present study was to determine the potential plant growth-promoting action of bacterial endophytes isolated from arid land-dwelling plants under normal conditions. Overall, five bacterial endophytes LK11 (Sphingomonas sp. LK11), TP5 (

Evaluation of forage grass response to nitrogen rate in a controlled greenhouse study
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Productive forage with sufficient nutritive value is essential to profitable grazing operations. Application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer directly impacts pasture growth, but N rates must be carefully calibrated to minimize production costs and losses to the environment.

Development of a multigenic metabarcoding of prokaryotic microbiota: application to Bacteria and Archaea of agronomical interest encountered in the rice rhizosphere of Camargue [PDF]
, 2017 It is our hypothesis that soil and plant microbiota are playing an eminent role in shaping both natural ecosystems and agricultural production systems. It is now widely admitted that bacterial communities show a great diversity in the rhizosphere and in ...

Dark septate root endophytic fungi increase growth of Scots pine seedlings under elevated CO2 through enhanced nitrogen use efficiency. [PDF]
Although increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are predicted to have substantial impacts on plant growth and functioning of ecosystems, there is insufficient understanding of the responses of belowground processes to such increases.
