A Vavilovian approach to discovering crop-associated microbes with potential to enhance plant immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Through active associations with a diverse community of largely non-pathogenic microbes, a plant may be thought of as possessing an “extended genotype,” an interactive cross-organismal genome with potential, exploitable implications for plant immunity ...

Molecular characterization of phototrophic microorganisms in the forefield of a receding glacier in the Swiss Alps

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2013
Recently deglaciated areas are ideal environments to study soil formation and primary microbial succession where phototrophic microorganisms may play a role as primary producers.

Effects of above ground pathogen infection and fungicide application on the root-associated microbiota of apple saplings

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiome, 2023
Background The root-associated microbiome has been of keen research interest especially in the last decade due to the large potential for increasing overall plant performance in agricultural systems.

Amplifying and Fine-Tuning Rsm sRNAs Expression and Stability to Optimize the Survival of Pseudomonas brassicacerum in Nutrient-Poor Environments

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
In the beneficial plant root-associated Pseudomonas brassicacearum strain NFM421, the GacS/GacA two-component system positively controls biofilm formation and the production of secondary metabolites through the synthesis of rsmX, rsmY and rsmZ.

Long-term field metal extraction by pelargonium:phytoextraction efficiency in relation to plant maturity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The long length of periods required for effective soil remediation via phytoextraction constitutes a weak point that reduces its industrial use. However, these calculated periods are mainly based on short-term and/or hydroponic controlled experiments ...

Rhizospheric pseudomonads [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2008
Of the different groups of soil microorganisms, pseudomonads are one of the important class, playing various roles in the plants growth and development. Although they have been reported to inflict both beneficial and harmful effect on plants, they act through various mechanisms.

Impact of shortened crop rotation of oilseed rape on soil and rhizosphere microbial diversity in relation to yield decline [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Oilseed rape (OSR) grown in monoculture shows a decline in yield relative to virgin OSR of up to 25%, but the mechanisms responsible are unknown. A long term field experiment of OSR grown in a range of rotations with wheat was used to determine whether ...

16S rDNA Profiling to Reveal the Influence of Seed-Applied Biostimulants on the Rhizosphere of Young Maize Plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In an open field trial on two agricultural soils in NW Italy, the impact of two seed-applied biostimulants on the rhizosphere bacterial community of young maize plants was evaluated.

Effect of N and P fertilisation and aeration on biodegradation of crude oil in aged hydrocarbon contaminated soils

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2010
We conducted two laboratory experiments to examine the effects of fertilisation and agitation (aeration) on crude oil degradation in two soils with differential nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus) availability.

Conditioned soils reveal plant-selected microbial communities that impact plant drought response

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Rhizobacterial communities can contribute to plant trait expression and performance, including plant tolerance against abiotic stresses such as drought.
