Exploring the multi-level regulation of lignocellulases in the filamentous fungus Trichoderma guizhouense NJAU4742 from an omics perspective

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
Background Filamentous fungi are highly efficient at deconstructing plant biomass by secreting a variety of enzymes, but the complex enzymatic regulation underlying this process is not conserved and remains unclear.

Soil Fertility and Biodiversity in Organic Farming

Science, 2002
An understanding of agroecosystems is key to determining effective farming systems. Here we report results from a 21-year study of agronomic and ecological performance of biodynamic, bioorganic, and conventional farming systems in Central Europe. We found crop yields to be 20% lower in the organic systems, although input of fertilizer and energy was ...

The Effects of Mineral and Organic Fertilizers on

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 2012
Soil respiration is the production of carbon dioxide from soil as a result of soil organism metabolic processes. One of the most important sources of CO 2 emission is from agricultural fields. Agricultural practices can influence soil organic carbon inputs and outputs being determinant for CO 2 emission.

A novel decomposer-exploiter interaction framework of plant residue microbial decomposition

Genome Biology
Background Plant residue microbial decomposition, subject to significant environmental regulation, represents a crucial ecological process shaping and cycling the largest terrestrial soil organic carbon pool. However, the fundamental understanding of the

Anatomically induced changes in rice leaf mesophyll conductance explain the variation in photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency under contrasting nitrogen supply

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background The ratio of CO2 mesophyll conductance (g m) to Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) content has been suggested to positively affect photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE).

The mineralization of commercial organic fertilizers at 8°C temperature [PDF]

, 2008
In organic production only organic fertilizers and soil conditioners can be used to supply the soil with nitrogen. The mineralization of these products is slow and so there can be problems with the supply of nitrogen, when the demand of the plants is ...

Plasma‐Treated Hydrogel for Combined RONS and Chemotherapy Delivery: A Proof‐of‐Concept In Ovo

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores plasma‐treated hydrogels (PTH) as a new way to deliver both reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and chemotherapy (Doxorubicin) directly to tumors. In ovo tests show effects after a single dose, especially in osteosarcoma tumors. Tumor weight decrease, and a resistance‐related protein is reduced.

Development of a chemotactic SynCom bioorganic fertilizer for biocontrol of bacterial wilt in tobacco fields

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most severe plant diseases all over the world. Currently, many scientists are using SynCom (synthetic microbial community) to control this disease.

Trichoderma-amended biofertilizer stimulates soil resident Aspergillus population for joint plant growth promotion

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2022
Application of plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPMs) can contribute to sustainable agricultural ecosystems. From a three-year field experiment, we already found that the addition of Trichoderma bio-organic fertilizer (BF) significantly improved crop ...
