Plant ectoparasitic nematodes prefer roots without their microbial enemies [PDF]

, 2009
Root-feeding nematodes are major soil-borne pests in agriculture. In natural ecosystems, their abundance can be strongly controlled by natural enemies.

Gene induction during plant-microbe interactions : the role of chitinases during fungal infection and the investigation of mycorrhiza-induced genes in the model plant "M. truncatula" [PDF]

, 2007
In this thesis, the model legume Medicago truncatula was used for research on plant-microbe interactions. Unlike most other plants, legumes are able to form two distinct root symbioses. Together with soil-borne fungi of the Glomeromycota, they form the

The rhizosphere microbiome and plant health [PDF]

, 2012
The diversity of microbes associated with plant roots is enormous, in the order of tens of thousands of species. This complex plant-associated microbial community, also referred to as the second genome of the plant, is crucial for plant health.

The Role of Roots in Plant Defence [PDF]

, 2011
Roots play an important role for plant defence and resistance against pathogens and insect herbivores: They act as environmental sensors for space, nutrients and water, they are important biosynthetic sites of plant toxins, they can store assimilates for

Curcumol: From Plant Roots to Cancer Roots [PDF]

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019
Natural products, an infinite treasure of bioactive scaffolds, have provided an excellent reservoir for the discovery of drugs since millennium. These naturally occurring, biologically active and therapeutically effective chemical entities have emerged as novel paradigm for the prevention of various diseases.

Groundwater Depths Affect Phosphorus and Potassium Resorption but Not Their Utilization in a Desert Phreatophyte in Its Hyper-Arid Environment

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Nutrients are vital for plant subsistence and growth in nutrient-poor and arid ecosystems. The deep roots of phreatophytic plants are necessary to access groundwater, which is the major source of nutrients for phreatophytes in an arid desert ecosystem ...

P-ring: The conserved nature of phosphorus enriched cells in seedling roots of distantly related species

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2023
Plants require sunlight, carbon dioxide, water and mineral ions for their growth and development. Roots in vascular plants sequester water and ions from soil and transport them to the aboveground parts of the plant.

Intercropping of Leguminous and Non-Leguminous Desert Plant Species Does Not Facilitate Phosphorus Mineralization and Plant Nutrition

Cells, 2022
More efficient use of soil resources, such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), can improve plant community resistance and resilience against drought in arid and semi-arid lands.

The beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii modulates the expression of WRKY transcription factors in syncytia to favour its development in a Arabidopsis roots [PDF]

, 2014
Cyst nematodes invade the roots of their host plants as second stage juveniles and induce a syncytium which is the only source of nutrients throughout their life.

Soil profile N2O efflux from a cotton field in arid Northwestern China in response to irrigation and nitrogen management

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
It remains uncertain how different N inputs as synthetic fertilizer or manure and irrigation types affect nitrous oxide (N2O) production and effluxes in the subsurface.
