Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Influence of Fertilization on the Phytoremediation of Lead‐Contaminated Soils Using Tropical Grasses
ABSTRACT Lead is an element intensively used by human activities, representing serious risks to food security due to soil contamination, making it essential to implement control strategies to mitigate its harmful effects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of soil fertilization on the growth and lead accumulation of grasses used ...

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview
Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

Substantial intergenotypic variation in nitrogen uptake and recycling traits was observed in a M. sinensis progeny. This variability defined three functional groups with contrasting nitrogen‐use strategies, offering a framework for selecting ideotypes tailored to different environments while maintaining high biomass production under nitrogen‐limited ...

In Mediterranean ecosystems, soil contamination by metals and metalloids and drought represent major abiotic stresses whose combined effects on plant communities remain poorly understood, hindering effective ecological restoration practices. Here we evaluated the responses of plant community and species to combined stresses during a 4‐year ecological ...

Wild grapevine was cultivated either alone or in association with Medicago sativa–rhizobia symbiosis on two soil types: an agricultural soil and a contaminated one. In the present work, we observed that in the agricultural soil, grapevine intercropped with the alfalfa–rhizobium combination exhibited a significant increase in whole plant biomass ...

Dynamics of Miscanthus spp. Overwinter Leaf Litter Drop and Decomposition
Understanding leaf litter cycling and decomposition is key to modelling the carbon balance of and sustainability of biomass crops such as the giant perennial grass, Miscanthus. Our paper monitored overwinter leaf shedding from six Miscanthus genotypes planted in a replicated field trial, including the current commercial clone M.
