Impact of Irrigation Strategies on Tomato Root Distribution and Rhizosphere Processes in an Organic System. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Root exploitation of soil heterogeneity and microbially mediated rhizosphere nutrient transformations play critical roles in plant resource uptake. However, how these processes change under water-saving irrigation technologies remains unclear, especially

Shifts of the soil microbiome composition induced by plant–plant interactions under increasing cover crop densities and diversities

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Interspecific and intraspecific competition and facilitation have been a focus of study in plant-plant interactions, but their influence on plant recruitment of soil microbes is unknown. In this greenhouse microcosm experiment, three cover crops (alfalfa,

The Effect of Different Stratification and Scarification Treatments on Breaking the Dormancy of Saskatoon Berry Seeds

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Saskatoon berry has become as important as a commercial fruit crop. One main goal is to release new plant cultivars well adapted to different climatic and soil conditions.

Mangrove microniches determine the structural and functional diversity of enriched petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading consortia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this study, the combination of culture enrichments and molecular tools was used to identify bacterial guilds, plasmids and functional genes potentially important in the process of petroleum hydrocarbon (PH) decontamination in mangrove microniches ...

BENEFICIAL RHIZOSPHERE PSEUDOMONADS

open access: yesEcological 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 ...

Quantification of methane oxidation in the rice rhizosphere using 13C-labelled methane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In this paper isotope ratio mass spectrometry is used to determine the methane (CH4) oxidation fraction in the rhizosphere of intact rice plant-soil systems.

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

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 ...

Economically Optimal Wheat Yield, Protein and Nitrogen Use Component Responses to Varying N Supply and Genotype

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Improvements in market value of hard red spring wheat (HRS, Triticum aestivum L.) are linked to breeding efforts to increase grain protein concentration (GPC).

Breeding Milestones Correspond with Changes to Wheat Rhizosphere Biogeochemistry That Affect P Acquisition

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Breeding wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has resulted in small gains in improved nutrient acquisition and use as numerous traits are involved. In this study, we evaluated the impact of breeding on P-acquisition and identified both plant and soil variables ...
