Investigating the integration of electrodes with the rhizosphere of Oryza sativa through wetland plant microbial fuel cell for sustainable bioenergy production

Desalination and Water Treatment
The P-MFC technology, which acts as an energy source, is one of the promising methods to reduce environmental pollution. In the present study, the P-MFC was constructed using Oryza sativa (Paddy plant), and various electrode materials like carbon, copper,

Trait-Based Root Phenotyping as a Necessary Tool for Crop Selection and Improvement

Agronomy, 2020
Most of the effort of crop breeding has focused on the expression of aboveground traits with the goals of increasing yield and disease resistance, decreasing height in grains, and improvement of nutritional qualities.

Root exudate-derived compounds stimulate the phosphorus solubilizing ability of bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2023
Low phosphorus (P) availability in soils is a major challenge for sustainable food production, as most soil P is often unavailable for plant uptake and effective strategies to access this P are limited.

Unraveling the interplay between root exudates, microbiota, and rhizosheath formation in pearl millet

Microbiome
Background The rhizosheath, a cohesive soil layer firmly adhering to plant roots, plays a vital role in facilitating water and mineral uptake. In pearl millet, rhizosheath formation is genetically controlled and influenced by root exudates.
