Effects of Plant Health-Protecting Product Applications on the Root-Associated Microbiota of Apple Saplings and Strawberries

Phytobiomes Journal
The root-associated microbiome has been of keen research interest due to its large potential for increasing plant performance. In agricultural systems, the use of plant health-protecting products (PHPPs) is essential for obtaining high yields and quality.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

BENEFICIAL RHIZOSPHERE PSEUDOMONADS

Ecological genetics, 2008
Among the many bacteria present on and around the root, Pseudomonas bacteria are (among) the best root colonizers and therefore very suitable to apply for beneficial purposes. In this chapter, we discuss the possibilities to use such bacteria for the following purposes: fertilization of the plant, stimulation of plant growth and yield, reduction of ...

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

The nitrogen dilemma: Toward a novel fertilization management framework for reconciling productivity and diversity in grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Nitrogen fertilization raises grassland productivity but steadily undermines plant diversity. Instead of applying the same rate everywhere every year, the PRISM framework is designed to rotate high‐ and low‐nitrogen paddocks across the farm over time. This spatiotemporal cycling aims to maintain farm‐scale productivity while creating periodic windows ...

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

A synthetic community promotes macadamia growth via root‐microbe interactions and systemic plant responses

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
We employed an 18‐month pot experiment and an integrated multi‐omics approach to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying synthetic community (SynCom)‐mediated macadamia growth promotion. SynCom inoculation enhanced soil nitrogen cycling and potential nutrient (e.g., iron) acquisition.

Enviromics crosstalk between internal and external plant environments for enhanced adaptation and de novo domestication

iMeta, EarlyView.
Climate change demands accelerated plant adaptation and de novo domestication. Yet current enviromics focuses disproportionately on external environments, neglecting internal dynamics—gene expression, metabolic flux, and signal transduction—within predictive envirotyping frameworks.

Assessment of the microbial quality of ready-to-eat vegetable salads and berry fruit available on Polish market

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus
The consumption and sale of ready-to-eat products, i.e., fresh-cut vegetable salads and fruit, have been growing tremendously in the present time. Therefore, the microbial safety of such products is of great concern.
